My lovely ladies xxx I knew I could depend on you all. Thanks Simrin for your information on mediums that’s a great help, and thanks Goreti for the links which I’m going to look at now. Calli, you are awesome and I’m inspired now to cover some boards and give it a try. When I was young I was reasonable at art. I was going to do an O level in it (that’s how old I am!!). I loved art and design and my dream was to be a window dresser for Harrods!!…….But Dad had other ideas and wanted me to get to work and bring home some board. So I became a machinist in a local factory, then through the years I worked as a pattern cutter and now work in my ‘day job’ as a Senior Garment Technologist on the retail side of fashion for a TV shopping channel….so I did well, but not at what I wanted to do……..anyhoo……..my artwork got shelved for MANY years, until I found fondant!! And now I’m itching to know if I can still draw and paint. So with you lovely ladies encouragement I’m going to give it a whirl. I just worry what happens if you make a mistake? Do you just take it off with Vodka? I’m going to stop trying to put barriers in front of me and just have a go. What’s the worst that could happen……at least I can just eat it and hide the evidence!!
