delightful submitted by jayin on July 21, 2011, 6:51pm a wonderful way to spend some time with EZ.
I love reading her books, but to see her in action is amazing.

Up Close submitted by awooden on August 4, 2011, 7:08am I really enjoyed watching this video. It was nice to hear EZ talk, while you could watch her technique. I would recommend checking out the book that accompanies the video before you watch it if you want more details about projects, as she references it often.
