To preserve leaves mix 1 part glycerine and 2 parts water.Submerge leaves in mixture in a single layer.Weigh the leaves down so that they are completly submerged in the solution.Leave them for 2 to 7 days until they have completely absorbed the solution and are soft and pliable.Remove and wipe dry with a soft cloth.Done correctly leaves should last indefinitely.Leaves done this way may be used in floral arrangements. I think this would be the perfect way to preserve the leaves used for the cement and hypertufa objects all of you are making.This really works.A florist friend told me about this.

I've never poured molds but for firing and glazing I suggest a book by Richard Zakins 'Electric Kiln Ceramics' good luck

Anyone out there have wainscotting with top moulding that runs right into the shower with a matching "ceramic" moulding that continues the perimeter and runs into the wood moulding again on theother side? I was amazed that I found ceramic AND wood that matched beautifully. I just don't know how they would start and stop (having to do with the glass shower door). Pictures and suggestions would be much appreciated. In addition, I am running my tumbled black nero marquina 6 x 6" pavers from the bathroom floor up and into the shower pan. Any thoughts on this be it good or bad?
