    no melvis! i bought the pound shop for little ones and the discount bookshop and the works for the larger ones.

    Paints i bought from the works, i spent £5 on paints and they last for about 10/12 canvases.

    Even if u made one as a tester and see what people thought, xmas fairs and boot sales u can do well xxxx ive bought scraps of fabric and cut out leave patterns and glued them on a canvas thats in my lounge it looks really good and is virtually no effort! xxxx
    Hjb u will be so sore in the morning all achey!!! brilliant fun , have u tried hula hooping? xxx
    kisto i really hope it works out, u will squeeze it all in, xxxxx

    I always wondered about selling canvasses on ebay. I have about 15 canvasses I've painted and people have told me I should sell them but I've never known where to sell them. I did look on ebay but their boards are flooded with art I guessed mine would just be lost amongst them and not sell!
