• New
Column: Painting
By Numbers: as a boy of around ten I remember
feeling uncomfortable when I was given a black velvet
painting by numbers set. I felt a sham before I popped
open the first tiny plastic tub that held the thick
unnatural coloured pigment...

Last
Major
Update
Homepage and
Review Update: July 04
You'll
find a major update has been made to our homepage
which now places far greater emphasis on the free
community resources that are available at AbleStable.
The links to our online store are gone which are now
available from our Services page. Each resource area
featured on the homepage now has a small icon and
link with a brief accompanying summary. The Product
Area has been renamed Review Area as this far better
sums up its purpose.
These changes are inline with a general assertion
that AbleStable is now a high quality content-rich
website. The commercial language: products, store
etc, have been demoted in favour of language that
far better sums-up the site's main purpose: to encourage
and support creativity. Hope you like the changes.
If
you have any comments, good or bad, please go to Feedback.

Director, AbleStable
