What you need to do...
When creating a bespoke work of art using words, the possibilities are endless - and it can occasionally seem like a daunting task. However, in my experience, you will be amazed how quickly you will suddenly have a large list of words that, in fact, you may have to tailor a little! Have a look at the 'aide memoires' I've created of fairly generic questions for every occasion.....I hope it helps!
