Such beautiful lamps! I just remembered I have a 'shiny' brass ginger jar lamp out in the garage that's very heavy that I haven't used for 7 years. I purchased it in an antique shop back in SD, and was supposedly made in England, but have never checked for markings. I would love to give it away, but feel its 'too good' for goodwill if there is such a thing, so it's still hanging out in the garage. And I don't want to deal with CL and the crazies it may invite.

Good luck with your plant. I've (just about) given up on Ecchies. I have a very fast draining mix of approx 40/60 C&S mix/pumice, use terra cotta pots, water no more than every couple of weeks. Make sure that NO water, (not one drop) gets on any part of the rosettes. My family thinks I'm crazy because I go out and look at my plants EVERY DAY sometimes a couple of times a day to see if anything is amiss, looking for insects, etc. Everything is going along fine. Then one day I go out and it's dropped half of its leaves! CRAP! FRUSTRATING! Inexplicably and despite my best efforts. The E. Chroma did that just this week, but a couple of others have done the same over the Summer. On the Chroma, once the leaves dropped I saw the stem was blackening. The last time I watered was 2 weeks ago and 2 weeks before that. One of the others there was no rot, one is still barely hanging on, but I don't have much hope. I'll see. I can't provide any better conditions for a plant that seems to be fine one day and is teetering on the edge the next. Too finicky and I don't have the time or money to replace them and baby them. So while loosing plants always sucks, it just makes more room on my succy table for plants that aren't so demanding. ...and they won't be ecchies. Tyler

CoreTEC Plus XL-E Fairweather Oak / Harrison Oak...Bevel or No Bevel?
Q
Comments (13)
Hi DW- I love Coretec! I have used it in several applications including this Hair Salon, but also in a residential space. The color I used in both of these projects I am including here is Blackstone Oak, and it was selected because both of my clients wanted it to read Warm and cool, and this flooring had a nice mix of the two colors. With regard to the bevel, I would recommend avoiding it, as it does tend to make it harder to keep clean. While Coretec offers a lifetime warranty in a residential installation (assuming your installer does it to specs), but the bevels, while they are trendy, tend to show wear sooner since it exposes other areas of the flooring moreso than others, and dirt tends to get stuck inside of the creases more often. Good luck with your project! Sounds like you're on the right track! This is the blackstone oak in a residential installation. This is the same flooring in a Hair Salon Commercial installation. Both with out bevels so it will stay nice longer! Good luck on your project!

YES use black and white film and although you can use glossy ones matte is much better they make some spray stuff that you can spray on glossy photos to make em matte but it is expensive. What happened with your photos was the fact that you had black and white copies made from color film and the films color pigments were coming thru still. Try black and white film you will love the results. I noticed though it is best to leave the skin tone alone it never looks right :)and dont try to color everything just one or two thing in the picture when i did my wedding pics i only colored in my bouquet.

I have some I did 15 years ago in collage that still look great. I just used highlighters (blue and pink) and sharpies (red and black). This was pre- acid free, of course. But they worked great. Little did I know it would become a big business.
