Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hey everyone I've been lurking for a while, but figured I'd just say hi... Btw, does anyone know of anywhere online that sell vegan paintbrushes? Damn hog hair... === Questions about you === 1/ What is your name (or what do you like to be called)? Lucy. 2/ How old are you (a rough idea will do)? 18 3/ Do you know many vegans in real life? *sigh* no. I do have an online vegan friend in America though... does that count? Heh. 4/ How long have you been a vegan, and how long vegetarian before that? Vegan for about 2 years, vegetarian for about 6 years 5/ Why did you become vegetarian/vegan (if you are neither it would be useful to explain why you joined this list)? Ethical reasons. I don't believe it's right to eat or cause pain to another creature when there are so many alternative foods. Lots of other reasons too, but that's the main one. === Questions about your area === 6/ Whereabouts do you live? Leicester. 7/ How good a place is it for vegans? Well, there are some health food shops, and a vegetarian restaurant in town (they have a few vegan dishes), but that's all. === Questions for fun === 8/ Which is your favourite type of bean? Hmm, soya. 9/ What is your favourite country, or region, to visit? I haven't travelled much... Wales is nice though. 10/ What types of film do you like? Fantasy, horror, psychological thrillers, some comedies... anything really, bar those awful American teen comedy romance things *shudder* 11/ What was the last meal you ate? Veg and tofu stir-fry. 12/ Are you a morning, evening or night person? Evening/night, definitely. === Questions for dull administrative purposes === 13/ How did you find out about this list? Searched for UK vegan groups on . === Other comments === 14/ If there is anything else you want to add to the above please feel free to do so. Um...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Most art shops will sell synthetic brushes. They tend to be cheaper than hog hair because they aren't so good.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah, that's the problem I'm having... For oil you need harder brushes, and the softer synthetic ones don't work all that well *sigh* Ah well, sure I'll find something somewhere...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Welcome Lucy, All I can suggest is that you contact the vegan society about paint brushes, there should be synthetic brushes available in theory, as they should be cheaper?! - just guessing.
