Food coloring. McCormick now has neon colors! purple, green, pink and blue. i used the purple and then added some pink & blue. It's going to be sensory conflict, but i like purple. and mint. :-)

Lamp needs shadeCategory: testing
(e:Matthew), do you have any suggestions for a style of shade for this lamp?
heidi - 10/05/10 18:55
Lampshades are expensive :-p I went to Target and Lowes looking for shades - they had great prices ($12-25) but the bell-shaped ones were only in a kinda dark tan, not a light cream. I'll keep poking around.

I don't know of any local places except the Royallight on Sheridan Dr. In tonawanda. I find lampshades to be surprisingly expensive.

That's a tough lamp to fit with a shade. How about a solid red shade?

Acid Mine Drainage ickCategory: home
More photos from the not-sand-run-falls hike (e:heidi,52710) & (e:heidi,52714)
What a cool mushroom, just hanging out on a dead branch.
Boney pile
Pine tree yellowed from the highly acidic shale that it's growing in.
Acid mine drainage pond above Babb's Creek. As the water moves down the mountain, it hits various treatment facilities but wow it's gross. And stinky.
We took a break here.
A nice August sunset shot from the visitors center on Rt. 15 S near Tioga, Pa.

I really wish I had cleaner grouting in my bathroom. :/ I just can't scrub it white. I guess it's so old that the dirt is embedded in it.
