i got bored this evening so decided to wrap a load of parcel tape round a kitchen roll (with screwed up paper shoved in the middle to stiffen it up) so that i can tape a couple of pieces of kitchen roll ontop and put the skin ontop, think this will be better practice than just on a flat surface
This is what i use it is an artists easel box and can be adjusted to any angle!I cover it with cling film and then pin the skin to it .they can be got in Argos or any art supply store.
