Blank Pendant
Possible to get a “blank” Mjollnir pendant?
Basically, I decided that I want to make my own, custom Mjollnir pendant. Now, with the design I have in mind, I’ll need an almost blank Mjollnir pendant, and the only ones I’ve come across on-line all have huge amounts of decoration or symbolism on them, which is no good at all.
If it isn’t possible to buy one, would it be at all possible to somehow have one made? Perhaps at a jewellers or something? If any of you fellow Heathens have ever customized/made your own Mjollnir pendant, could you please tell me how you went about it?
(For those of you that don’t know, Mjollnir is the hammer of Thor, a quick Google image search of “Mjollnir pendant” will show you what they are.)
And yes, I realise this probably isn’t the right section, but it is to do with Religion, and this is where all the Heathens hang out anyway.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Effetre Moretti
Are borosilicate glass and effetre/moretti glass related?
If eyeglasses are not good for borosilicate glass can it be used for lampworking that uses effetre/moretti glass?
No. Borosilicate glass is harder and has a higher melting temp than moretti, which is a softer glass. They have two different COEs (coefficients of expansion) so the two types of glass do not work together; if you try to use them together your pieces will shatter.

Watercolor Paints
Buying Watercolor Paintings
I’ve been buying watercolor paintings for decorating jobs. I’ve found some really nice pieces on eBay. I recently bought a watercolor painting by an artist named Y. Gianni. The painting was produced in 1890 and depicted an Italian village. It was very vivid and pleasing to look at.
I was trying to find just the right watercolor painting for a client when I came across one by an artist named William B. Gillette. The colors were pastel, ranging from soft greens, browns, blues, purples and peach. The scene was that of a pebble beach and crashing waves. The hills on one side gave the beach a feeling of privacy. It really spoke to me and my client loved it.
There was a cabin that I was decorating for a discerning client that needed one more piece of art to complete the look I was going for. I found a wonderful watercolor painting that fit just right. It had a lot of mossy green colors and there was a lake with a lake house. The artist turned out to be Charles Dickens Wader. He is a well known artist from New York.
I have a client that collects art from Romeo Tabuena. I was fortunate to find two watercolors that the owners had purchased directly from Tabuena in the fifties when they lived in San Miguel. The owner settled with me for an even thousand dollars. My client was thrilled.
A lawyer friend of mine hired me to redecorate his office. I had a lot of fun putting in things that reflected his interests and tastes. He loves polo and I found a wonderful watercolor painting of two polo players on horses. My friend liked the paintings and they have become a conversation piece in the new office.
My friend’s dad liked the office I decorated so much that he commissioned me to redecorate his office. He is a hunter and I found a really nice watercolor painting of several mallard ducks flying above a marsh. The painting was done by Jim Killen and he has painted for Ducks Unlimited. His work is well known and respected. My friend’s father really liked the find and proudly hung it in his reception area.
I was really unsure where I was going to find suitable art for the program director’s office at a local radio station. When I went to visit with him for a consultation, his office was absolutely stark. I like watercolor paintings and that is my first choice for buying art. I found a fantastic watercolor painting of Bob Marley surrounded by sunflowers. It was awesome and perfect for this job.
There is a musician that I was working for a couple of years ago that wanted their studio decorated with paintings from the artist Raoul Dufy. Raoul Dufy made a whole series of paintings called Hommage to Mozart. I was able to purchase three watercolor paintings in this series. I have always been on the lookout for more paintings to purchase for this client.
A friend of mine asked me to find a watercolor painting to give to her mother. I found one by Henry H. Parker that was of cattle in landscape. The frame was what caught my eye at first because it is heavy gilt. It would never hang in my house, but it looked great at my friend’s mother’s house.

Hmmm. . .It hard to give you an adequate piece of advice without having seen the style you illustrate in. I, personally, use thick lead pencils, brush pens, ink and brush, and sometimes, colored pencils. Whether you prefer soft lead, or hard lead colored pencils, Prismacolor is the way to go. They are costly, but they always give me the best results. As for drawing, again, I can’t give you any useful tips on how to draw better without seeing any of your work, but my advice is always the same, to you, to myself, to everyone looking to draw. Sketch from the shoulder and elbow, lock your wrist and forget about it, and don’t even think about how much the paper costs, it inhibits your creativity and makes your lines a lot less natural looking.
Regular sketching pencils are a dime a dozen, so any type will really do, but I use a brand called Design.

Which Car Makes and Models Are Most Likely to Be Stolen?
According to NICB officials, older cars often get stolen as parts of these cars become extremely rare and tough to come across in due course of time, of which thieves take full advantage. These vehicle thieves are extremely intelligent as they keep themselves updated with the latest trends and demands in the vehicle market, targeting the most popular vehicles and influencing and indulging in illegal export of stolen vehicle parts. The following is the list of top ten cars stolen:
* 1995 Honda Civic
* 1989 Toyota Camry
* 1991 Honda Accord
* 1994 Dodge Caravan
* 1994 Chevrolet Full Size C/K 1500 Pickup
* 1997 Ford F150 Series
* 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup
* 1990 Acura Integra
* 1988 Toyota Pickup
* 1991 Nissan Sentra
Vehicle Theft and the Impact it has on your Auto Insurance Premium. According to Lou Geremia, president of Insurnace.com, auto insurance rates are determined by companies in relation to the industry’s loss history. Vehicles which are faced with a higher risk of getting stolen thus have higher insurance rates. Many companies however, provide their customers with automatic antitheft devices, which help to cut down on the insurance rates when it comes to these car makes and models.
Tips to Help Guard Your Wheels. The NICB encourages everyone to adopt the ‘layered approach’ and make respective cars less attractive to thieves by maintaining a low profile for cars and not being flashy in general. The four layers of protection are as follows:
Layer #1 – Common Sense. Always leave your car locked, even if you park for a very brief period of time.
Layer #2 – Warning Device. Having audible and visible proofs for your car being well protected is another way of warding off thieves. Popular second layer devices include:
* Audible alarms
* Steering column collars
* Steering wheel/Brake pedal lock
* Brake locks
* Wheel locks
* Tire locks/Tire deflators
* Theft deterrent decals
* Identification markers in or on vehicle
* Window etching
* Laminated glass
Layer #3 – Immobilizing Device. You must try and avail a device which prevents bypass ignition and hot-wiring of the vehicle. While some electronic gadgets function through computer chips in the ignition keys, others prevent the flow of fuel to the engine by virtue of having some secret button. Recommended third layer devices include:
* Smart keys
* Fuse cut-offs
* Kill switches
* Starter, ignition and fuel disablers
Layer # 4 – Tracking Device. Vehicle-tracking device is the best possible tool you can have while trying to battle vehicle thieves. The tracking system sends off signals to the local police station or monitoring station whenever reported stolen. Tracking devices like OnStar always help in the recovery of stolen vehicles.
Take action. If by chance your vehicle does get stolen, you will want to contact your local police department immediately. Make sure to have the following information on hand:
When contacting the police department becomes necessary on account of car makes and models having been stolen, ensure that you have the following information at hand:
* Year, make, model, and color of your car
* Your license plate number
* VIN (Make sure to have your VIN number in a file or secure spot.)
* Approximate time when the car was stolen
* Location where the car was parked
* Names of eye witnesses, if any
Next you will be required to get in touch with your insurance company, which will consider your claim only when you hand over your policy number and details of the incident to your auto insurance agent. When car makes and models are stolen, it usually takes an insurance company about 30 days to settle the stolen vehicle claim.

Lead Came
Is shaving cream to protect skin during handling of lead-containing solder or other metals?
I am an artist learns to do stained glass with lead solder and wine. They told me to rub shaving cream on my hands to form a protective barrier to lead to the manipulation of the weld. This cream "Shaving" protection technique is used by the guys from the phone company to handle the child or something with lead.
I doubt it. I that the gloves would be better if you're afraid.

Glass Pieces
our picnic table with broken glass, which is the best way to get all the glass pieces of grass?
Our table had an umbrella over it, the wind was blowing strong and one day on the table, the umbrella broke the glass .. Thus, the pieces are very small.
I know this sounds totally ridiculous, but I would like to use a vacuum cleaner. I can not think of anything else that will make the glass. It depends on the amount of land is in the cycle also.
