The document covers the history and significance of mollusks used for purple dye in ancient Phoenicia, along with DIY plant stand and decoration ideas, and information on preserving photographs with archival inks. It also describes a wood wall shelf collection and the use of vinyl wall decals for home decor. Additionally, it highlights the longevity of art pieces when properly cared for.

1. One Day Wall Art Decorations
Murex brandaris Linneus and Hexaplex trunculus Linneus are mollusks within what had been the
ancient Phoenician coast around Sidon and Tyre in Lebanon. They almost became extinct because of
a color. When agitated, these mollusks secrete a clear substance which, when left under the sun, can
become purple. The Tyrians would collect this for use as color. Ten thousand mollusks are needed to
make one purple Roman toga picta for the emperor. The problem with that this dye is extracted
made articles of clothing in purple prized possessions, generating purple dye worth its weight in
magical.
Make a different planter by starting with a small square, circle or even shape of flat hardwood. This
will act as your stand for your planter. Now glue a wooden dowel in the very center of the wood.
Paint a soda bottle lid and glue it towards wooden dowel. The simple plant stand looks beautiful
when you paint the wood and glue in ferns as well as other draping garden plants. Even a simple
bead can be a plant receptacle. Set the bead with one hole down just one hole facing upwards. Use
tiny flowers on wires (found at craft stores) to turn the bead into a stunning vase. Set the vase, with
flowers, on a mantle, table or other place.
Ever wonder why old photographs are brown colored? This is because the ink is not archival. A lot of
it used in nearly every photograph ultimately turn brown before image disappears completely. Why
is this? Believe it or not, the environment surrounding us is slightly acidic. This acidity helps the air
to literally eat away at our photographs. The chemical composition of archival inks stops this from
happening by watching television bond tightly to the page. This 'stickiness' keeps out the acidic
moisture, thus protecting and sustaining the photos.
For another wood wall shelf I am going to describe the Verona Scroll Shelf Collection. With the
marriage of wood and wrought iron, this wall shelf will add classic grandeur to any room of one's
home. The wall mounting brackets, in a beautiful scroll design, are designed of wrought iron show
up in white and black. The white they come in the white wood shelf and consist of to support the
English Oak finished wood shelf. This is one handsome piece of wall shelving. Including the support
wrought iron brackets this shelving unit's dimensions are 11.25"H x 24"W x 9"D.
Picket fences can be as effective as tree metal wall art. Add into the garden theme of your room, by
painting a section of a picket fence white. Next, position it behind the bed's head board.

2. Vinyl wall decals should be installed on clean, dry walls are generally in good repair. The vinyl wall
decals will cling far better to smooth walls, although they will still work on some varieties of
textured floor space. Vinyl decals can be utilized on all involving surfaces including wood, paneling,
wall board and plaster. After you've decided where spot your decals, all that they are done would be
take the decals out the packaging and also them for the wall. Remember to carefully lessen any
bubbles or wrinkles in the decal immediately. In a few minutes, will be able to decorate whole room
with beautiful decals and search for a special touch to a normally bland looking room.
If properly cared for, your abstract canvas final many years, even decades. Oil paintings are also
called to last centuries. You are make your canvas sketches last for long enough for youngsters to
enjoy and all of them in their homes.
