Where do I start? What am I going to need to get started? A lot of this really is down to personal choice and how much you actually want to spend. I absolutely stress that your basic needs do not need to be expensive. Therefore I am only writing this as a general guide to help you.

Where to start? Well, you could start by purchasing just an ordinary black pen with a fibre tip. These are stocked in all stationers, art shops etc, they are very cheap, but they will do the job.

You will find there are two varieties of watercolours, students and artists colours. The main difference is the actual pigments. Artists colours are very intense, as the best pigments are used for these, soaked with much colour.

Where to start on this, that is the question facing you? These paints tend to collect extra specks of dust etc. There is no getting away from it, they are not really too easy to work with, being made of a smudgy consistency.

With the credit crunch as it is, more and more people will be turning towards home crafts. So, with this in view, I have written the following article on making frames for your pictures, family photos etc. Usually, the clip frames you can buy are the cheapest option, but often you would prefer to have a framed edge.

Pictures to be hung on the wall made from quite simple silhouettes can be effective and also fascinating into the bargain. Like many craft ideas, it does not entail buying lots of items. These pictures are attractive and will brighten up your walls, or anybody’s you care to give them to.
