I'm not sure where to post this so if needs be can a moderator move to correct location Thanks :) :nw:

Firstly I would like to thank Steve and Jenny for there introduction to Barry Moulton, and encuastic art.

For those of you that have never dealt with this man, all I can say is that he is very helpful, there was no pressure to buy anything after I spent ages getting him to dig about his stock looking at varios bits and bobs,in fact he even took time out to give me a quick demo.

Barry is one of a dying breed who is genuinely a nice person. His work on his web site does no justice to his tallent having seen other pieces of his work.

For those of you who know Barry I suppose I have wasted your time reading this for which I am sorry.

For those of you new to encaustic art (like myself) or wanting supplies with no nonsense advice with down to earth instruction I feel you would have to go a long way to beat Barry.

Thank you for letting me have my rant :thumbup; I am very rarely this serious, I just felt compelled to say after the experience I had after dealing with Barry.

At the risk of making the man's head swell so much we'll have to widen the doors......

It was Barry that first got me into EA! I saw a couple of his pictures at an exhibition I was taking part in and was absolutely bowled over by them. It was that moment that I realised that was what I had been looking for all these years, so when the man himself came to our village to do a demonstration at the WI I got a friend to get me in, gritting my teeth all the way through 'Jerusalem (I don't do singing!!! :P ) sat through all the boring committee stuff and then finally we all got to see him at work! And that was it......HOOKED!

The rest is history!

So Barry, I also owe you a debt of thanks. You've been so helpful to me and you deserve the praise!

Now...who here does woodwork? :P

Although I havnt met Barry, and only ever contacted through e mail and CB, I can also say that he is a very helpful, genuine person, his Customer Service is the best I have ever come across, I dont know how he gets the stuff to me that fast?

Is he a Superhero :P

My MIL has spoken with Barry and she is always singing his praises and we would recommend him to anyone wanting to do EA, I would say he is the best EA supplier around :thumbup;

Thanks Barry for a fantastic First Class Service :thumbup;

I cannot agree more. :thumbup;
Although I have never met Barry I have chatted to him a few times, often thinking he was an answer machine? Sorry Barry!
It is so unusual to get a real live voice when ringing somewhere that i was quite taken aback and me being me, had to say!!!

Thanks Steve! I'll get my hairdresser ( :r ) in today to swap my parting over to the other side then.
At least I've still got most of my hair - hope it doesn't all go where my memory has wandered off to! :groan
