    Warning.

     

    If you're not already on Firefox, don't try to be by downloading it - I did and now I have to go all round the houses trying to get to here, that's once I get past Amazon trying to flog me one thing, McAffee trying to flog me another, and Cleanup Pro trying to flog me everything - even steroids !!! 

     

    We're heading fast into the new computer age - 100% adverts !!

    Allan- never do these things yourself- that is what under fives are for- give it to them and it is working within minutes!

    By the time I have read the first page of instructions- I am told disdainfully- 'There you are it's done' . Kids/Grandkids eh!

    Thanks,

     

    So come on then, with so many of you great luminaries on here, how exactly do you weather a printed cardboard surface? (which already has a hint of weathering in the printing but perhaps too uniform). I take it any sort of wet wash technique is out(!) and any past dry-brushing attempts just ended up looking like...er... well like someone has attacked it with a brush loaded with dry paint!

    I use cheap pastel colours from The Works- not as aggressive as art shop types. Just rub them side on then use your precision digit (finger) to spread where you want- use several colours and build up required result. The latter colours dont need so much as they will catch the previously applied pastel.
