I made this 7 Gypsies printer tray for my sister Candee last year. The Red Bee loved it so much; we think you will too, so...we're going to offer it to you as a class. This has so many found pieces...but Candee is really queen of junking...a real gypsy girl at heart! She has never left a thrift shop empty handed! How about you?

Special supplies you will need in addition to a basic tool kit are: Brayer, vintage photo distress ink, foam tape, liquid adhesive, four 3x4 photos that we can trim (preferably sepia tone or black and white).
