Talking of Bromoil - do we have any Bromoilists on the list?

I introduced a friend to the process a couple of years ago and we 
spent an enjoyable evening covering each other with ink  I left her 
to it and on a return visit was shocked to see the state of her 
kitchen, hands and clothes - black and blue all over :-)

The final results were worth the effort and mess but I was glad when 
that period of experimentation ended!

I'm sure that there are ways of controlling the fallout but you have 
to be a little too disciplined and for me and that took some of the 
fun out of the process.

Bromoil is alive and well in the UK. I will see if I can dig out the 
URL for the UK peops and put it in the f32 links sections - anyone 
know the URL off hand?
