Well I managed to make the likeness. It was hard work – this took the best part of two hours to draw – but eventually I have achieved what I set out to do. Well almost – I’m never happy with the exults and no doubt I will work on this a bit more but it is a great improvement at the first attempt and this, of course, is a really good lesson in itself. I couldn’t have produced this without the earlier sketch. Producing art appears to be much the same as any other exercise – the more you practice the better you get. You always strive to improve, whatever that might mean to you.

So I am happyish with this and the Secretary of State is reunited with her nose. Now you the next phase of this mad cap idea.
