I don't mix this color, but it's good to know how to do it right?
We started this discussion on facebook.. and these are the things I shared. We also talked about doing some live sessions on this topic (well at least one) Let me know if you are interested in that. Also, if you have a technique and want to add it to the list... I'll be happy to link to your post!
