Thanks for the advice - think will swap them - because was then thinking might brights be better for greens & reds that might be needed for christmas?? I used to be indecisive but now I am not so sure! x

Rusty sending more hugs your way, so wish I was nearer to help out with lifts/moral support/phoning the car hire peole etc etc.

Hope the new painkillers work and you finally find yourself pain free :A

Fab Chrimbo cards, Dragonllew and Craftygranny :T I must make mine this weekend as it is such a fab thing to do!

Choccy you are welcome

i am determined to be crafty this weekend but got in laws coming and house is a tip and out celebrating nephews 18th on Sunday so may run out of time to do as much as I want to!!!

I'll draw all of mine on a piece of paper and post a picture for you then you can decide!!

ooh I love learning about promarkers Choccy recommended the skin tones to me and said I should get them so you may find them useful ali. I really want to try them on images as I find skin a real hard one to do (I am very much a beginner with my colouring!!)
Hope u find what suits u xxx

Shouldn't the garage give you a lift home rusty - perhaps that's something that only happens out here in the sticks! Don't forget to claim for whiplash on his insurance - cash for promarkers should help with the pain .

This just made me laugh!! Cash for promarker fund here I come :rotfl:

Mrs Tidge, I won't be able to tell if they are working properly for a few days!! I only took some not long ago and so far nothing but I need to build them up in my system!

Craftygranny will you be ordering new ones?? I agree about the courtesy car. Think I need to get onto them sooner rather than later.

Salesadmin - Enjoy your fair! ... as for the skin tones, The main one I use is blush, although occasionally use one of the others which I can't remember the name of. I also have the skin accents.

Thanks Furrypig - ooh what do I do - right ladies if you were me with a limited budget which bargain pack of pro markers would you go for brights, skins neutrals?

furrypig

I would go for the skin as that 's what I find hard on images! But I haven't even tried them yet so listen to the experts!!! (I bet they are all brilliant!!)

Right here you go!! I think I'll be buying mine individually now. I think it depends what other colours you want to use on the image.

I always think that blossom looks a bit "dirty" when it goes on lol, coral very much too much sun and pastel pink not too great either. I like vanilla.

I think I'll give blush a go Rusty - thanks!
