I am trying to create a linen weave. I apply a mixture of latex eggshell and glaze over a white semi-gloss base coat. Then I rake with a brush horizontally and vertically.

Hi all -- I am getting ready to try my hand at some painting and I am also going to try the faux finish of sponging.

I've been searching for a way to treat contaminated water or filter out the contaminates enough to pour the water back into the ground or onto flower beds. The particular contaminate I'm concerned is the ink shed from magazines when I turn the paper back into pulp for paper making. I can take the water and flush it down the toilet but wondered if there was an alternative that would save the water so that it could be released back in...... read more |
