A friend needed a reborn baby for her mum, who was a resident in a dementia care facility. She had no internet access, so we spent hours browsing the magical world of eBay at my place, only to be outbid, every time. I became morbidly fascinated by various artists' skills and perceptions of realism. This lead to me uttering those fateful words, "Just how hard can this be?" It's been 13 expensive years of fun, frustration, experimenting, learning, teaching and kit collecting.
