    I need some kind of spray/fixative, don't I, to keep the picture from fading over time?

    Anyone got a link to a site where I can buy some?

    You can buy cans of fixative in any art/craft shop but hairspray will also do the trick for a fraction of the cost ;)

    Also, build up your sprays. Put your piece on the floor and spray from above making sure not to drip or spray too much to cause it to get too wet - just a light spray. Then let it dry and repeat until you are satisfied. you will save a degree of your fine tones that way :)

    Hairspray but the cheaper the better, get those cheap cans from the pound shop, the brand name expensive stuff is no good.
