The excess was then placed in an open-top box and kept on the worktop until it was reclaimed at the end of the week. We didn't wear gloves either!! Terrible. I am so glad I didn't do that for long.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-9529621945160470132012-01-08T21:18:15.146+00:002012-01-08T21:18:15.146+00:00And purple is cruel--hundreds of years of lichen g...And purple is cruel--hundreds of years of lichen growth sripped away for a little purple.<br /><br />The good news is, no one has time to make it the old way, let alone stuff those little tubes.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-36785728169314404732012-01-08T18:26:43.492+00:002012-01-08T18:26:43.492+00:00I imagine that vermillion might be dangerous..all ...I imagine that vermillion might be dangerous..all that mercury... the handling of which is why Hatters ended up mad!!<br />BEWARE the Vermillion!<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.com
