The cover of the new movie, Night at the Museum, utilizes this product. Also, there are a lot of children's products that use it. Usually, the motion, from side to side, is what is required to expose a different picture or illustration.

Hi.
With e-mails and such, sometimes it is needed to put a line to separate the different sections. It seems that most people just use a string of hyphens; I would line more designs to work with.

I've been researching DSLR's for months, reviewing and comparing camera prices and when compared to most recognizable businesses and online businesses, conoga camera seems to have the best prices. On average their prices are $200, sometimes up to $400 cheaper than say, a wolf camera or B&H. For example, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is sold for $1,999 at wolf. This same lens, the cadillac of Canon lenses, is sold for $1,684 on canogacamera.com. Are these prices too good to be true, or is this the place I should buy my camera gear? Has anyone done any business with canoga? If so, were you satisfied? I'd really love some guidance, and as always, thank you for your input.

I am a very avid fan of Chihuly's work. I have a skylight and would like to install about 6 or 7 medium to large glass colored flowers into it- very similar to the work that Chihuly did for the Bellagio. I understand that it is expensive and even more difficult to have it done in a timely matter. Does anyone know any quality glass artists who do similar work?

or beaten gold, the painting is off in some parts where it shows the wood beneath it and I would like to touch is up myself with gold leaf I can not afford an expert. My questions are:
1. Do you know of a website that gives you step by step instructions on how to do this?
2. Can real gold pain come in liquid or spray form.
3. Can I paint over the gold that is already there?
4. If I use gold spray paint will that decrease the value of the furniture?

i'm writing a paper on reactions to art work in the 19th century and i was just wondering what some of your reactions were to Rodin's "the Kiss". It caused quite a scandal when he first unveiled it but now it doesn't appear so unappropriate.

I am new to using charcoal as a medium. I do portraiture and just got a commission to use charcoal. I am finding it somewhat easy to blend in small areas with tortillions and blending sticks, but what about the larger areas of the face? This is of a child so I need it to be really smooth looking.

I am wanting to do a set of paintings using the word "Small" and "Large". However I am afraid it might have been done and my instructor will just think I am knocking off someone's work.

Does anyone know of such work out there and if so, can you post a link so I can see if it is the same as what I am thinking of doing?

I visited the New Orleans Museum of Art (for an art paper). I chose to write on Pablo Picasso's: The Dreamer (La Reveuse) 1947. It a painting in oil of a distorted face (uses lots of blues). After researching for 2 hrs. I come to a conclusion that this painting does not exist. Instead "The Dream" (the popular painting of his mistress appears). I wrote down exactly what was written at the museum. Can anyone Help?
