:face-topic: (although beads are very interesting)
Cheers for your advice guys.
Chiz - I got the Griffiths book - it's very good. I've put the others on my birthday list.
As well as wanting to practise at home, the main reason for asking for help was that I'd volunteered to help the Cathedral archaeologist out when I have a spare day here and there.
He was happy to give me some drawing to do, despite my lack of experience because it helps him out and allows me to learn and develop skills under a proper archaeologist. So it's and excellent trade off really. I'm drawing 20th Century wine bottles that came out of a demolished wall in a school (!). Two of the necks have the foil still attatched with the name of "Laing & Co. Sunderland" on both the foil and underneath on the base. It took all day to draw two bases. Hopefully the pace will pick up once I'm a little more profficient!
Cheers again
Pip
