So I have put together an easy guide Youtube tutorial on how to do this. This is an easy to follow demonstration of the process and formula required to separate...

Welcome to my new blog! I have so many exciting things on the go in 2019, and many creative projects happening; so I thought it might be a good time to start blogging. I am aware that I have been driving my friends crazy with all the things I have been up to, by posting on my Facebook profile - so this is a slightly more dignified way of sharing...
