Winning either of these vouchers would be GOLD!!! Thankfully TS & Virtu have made it possible for us fabulous fat ladies to ditch being seen in those terrible elastic waisted pants and a plain colour T with a patterned shirt over the top. Sadly that used to be all the "fashion" choices we had!

we learnt about moulding and casting. The technique of making replicas
of three dimensional objects is used in museums, films, special effects,
by sculptors, restorers, artists and crafters ... and now Moi ...

first task was make mould of your finger ...

then create moulds of found objects ...

wait for them to set ...
