It has been shown to "carry" stuff into your pores quite easily. When I'm working on a project that seriously dries out my hands, I use Olay Regenerist serum. It's made for the face and yes, it is expensive but 2 weeks of drying damage to my hands vanished overnight with just a small dollop. It turns out not to be too expensive because with regular lotion, I'd be putting it on for days or even weeks before I saw improvement.
,...but most importantly : I love to see you dance with your art.

Thanks

Comment by BlancheNoE on October 10, 2010 at 3:30pm: Yes. It was originally used for udders. My dad received his first tin from a farmer and used it every day thereafter. He was a heating and cooling guy (HVAC).

Comment by NatureJunkie on October 10, 2010 at 8:27pm: Changing the placement of your pieces as you work--I can now see the practicality of laying this out against a wall rather than on a floor or a table.

Comment by lima on October 10, 2010 at 8:32pm: it really looks like a piece of art to me, I am really digging those lines.

A really good vibe to it, the colors look very earthy.

nice dance wave to the music.

Comment by S.A. Murray on October 12, 2010 at 12:10pm: I like how you're trying to get a reply from the quit, as if it's going to tell you the next step :)

Comment by tree on October 12, 2010 at 12:13pm: Well, that is true, it speaks to me, tells me what it is uncomfortable with, what makes it want to cuddle up to the next piece - 'get rid of me, I'm not working', etc.
Good observation on your part

Comment by Geoff on October 13, 2010 at 10:13am: I used to live with a stained glass artist. He had the biggest room in the apartment (there were four of us) and decent light. He would arrange pieces of glass on his window, held in place with bits of wax, and move them around until he was satisfied. Of course he used a lightbox too but the first stages were explored in sunlight.
