Thanks so much @alistairuk! I have some scales that will measure out a tiny amount like this. Thanks for the tip on the weight comparisons, I’ll give it a try! Atlanta Lily

Thanks for the tip. I am quite tempted with the solos as I’ve heard ‘a little goes a long way.’ It’s quite a vibrant colour (which I’m looking for and I don’t think I’d get that with the clays so much). The solos seem to be in good supply unlike the zenicolor pro (another option) where I found...
