Also love the graphics on the box. I'm so glad you kept it sealed, so beautiful. You got to keep your cake & eat it too Vicki!<br />Can't wait to see what you do with it.<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100504828452604755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520733318478817465.post-23586414842558892052011-09-20T19:04:53.749-07:002011-09-20T19:04:53.749-07:00I don't want to rain on your parade, but do co...I don't want to rain on your parade, but do consider the potential toxicity of the treated gauze. "The element [mercury] poses more direct risks when it bonds with other materials. Compounds such bichloride of mercury (HgCl2), once used as antiseptics, are no longer available as medicines because they proved so acutely poisonous. Essentially a mercury-loaded salt, the very structure of mercury bichloride – also called corrosive sublimate – allows it to be readily absorbed by the body." from The Write Note (blog) and, perhaps, originally from The Poisoner's Handbook.marieDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05313756224379263110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520733318478817465.post-52133634364300001552011-09-20T18:37:45.926-07:002011-09-20T18:37:45.926-07:00That is so much fun; thanks for sharing!

Also, you might consider how the corrosive nature of the mercury chloride might affect your art. Perhaps it would be good to check out google/wiki for more info on mercury chloride--as this is a poison that may not have degraded over time and could be toxic to small chidren or pets if they chewed on it.neldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228222846957108565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520733318478817465.post-20271893925036945252011-09-19T08:01:28.593-07:002011-09-19T08:01:28.593-07:00How perfect is that!!!
