"Reena has kits and tutorials that take you through step by step creating Sleeping Aussie Babies starting with a very simple (beginners) numbat and teaching you the skills you need through twelve kits and tutorials to create your own individual creatures. I have worked alongside Reena and watch her teaching skills. She is very patient and informative. I highly recommend her."
