A friend of mine is having a baby next month, and I wanted to get a very plain, unmarked backpack (preferably pink or lavender) that is toddler sized. I want to stencil my own design on it. I use acrylic paint and a textile medium in my stencils, so it has to be canvas-like in texture (not windbreaker type material, as the paint will probably chip off). I've been looking everywhere, and can't seem to find what I need. Thanks for your help!
Where can I find a plain, customizable backpack for kids?

Reply:try hobby lobby they have all kinds of bags to decorate. im not sure if the have pink or lavendar but couldnt you maybe dye the bag if it is canvas
Reply:this is not a toddler sized backpack but it is one solid color, try jansport.
Reply:Target or Costco maybe...
Jansport backpacks are good for that
Reply:yeah you can find one at any second hand store
Reply:you might try the craft store Michael's if you have one near you.
otherwise, I would go to a children's store like Babies R Us.
nice gift, btw

How to make shampoo have a different scent?
Due to some people's allergies at work, we are not allowed to wear perfume or body spray, however, scented shampoo does not affect the people in question. Is there any type of bottled oil or liquid I can add to my shampoo to give it a bit of lavender, peony, etc, scent?
How to make shampoo have a different scent?
You can go to just about any herblal store and get scented oil and mix it in your shampoo and or conditioner. Some places have it to where you can actually mix and make your own bathroom products - I think its pretty cool
Reply:Why not buy a scented shampoo at your beauty shop where you get your hair done? You would get a product that smells good and is good for your hair type.
Reply:Essential oil. Just a drop or two will do the trick.
Reply:I would'nt mix anything , by a shampoo with a scent you like!
Reply:at your buety place
they sell shampoo that
makes your hair smell like mint
its really nice
Reply:I wouldn't add anything to your shampoo. It's already scented. Then you will be combining scents and it could end up not mixing well. If you do decide to try mixing then only do a small amount at a time. Also rememer how many scents you already wear everyday. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, laundry detergent, fabric softner, etc.
Reply:well the scent that you are adding could effect there allergies,
find out from the allergy sufferers if that would be OK!
Reply:you need to buy it and if not that go to like a bath and body works and theyll make your own sent for YOU!

Can anyone help me! I brought some lovely scented oils and need a few tips on perfume making?
I have a few questions.
Do you use distilled water?
Do you use Alcholhol?
If so, How much and why?
I have lavender drops and honeysuckle and carnation
also I have pautchouli.I want to put in an atomiser for a light
spray. What is the rule of thumb?
Can water from the tap be used?
Do I have to be concerned with bacteria?
Thanx!
Can anyone help me! I brought some lovely scented oils and need a few tips on perfume making?
Use a spray bottle.. mix about 2 ounces of vodka with about 15-40 drops of the oil depending on how strong you want it... it won't mix well with water, only in alcohol and vodka is the best for it since it has very little scent... this also takes away the concern about bacteria

How do you determine heterozygous and homozygous traits in corn snakes? do you have to do scientific testing?
I want to start researching on how to breed corn snakes and i need to know how to determine what traits a snake has. I know the traits (example: motley, lavender, snow, etc.), i just need to know how to determine them.
How do you determine heterozygous and homozygous traits in corn snakes? do you have to do scientific testing?
I'm not sure what you mean by "determining" them. Those are all visual morph traits that you can observe by looking at the snake.
Some traits are co-dominant or dominant meaning they are visible in the heterozygous form. Others need to be homozygous before they are visible, so the heterozygous forms are indistinguishable from a normal corn snake. The only way you can tell is by breeding it to another heterozygous or homozygous snake for that trait.
Here is a good link that explains snake and morph genetics: http://ballpython.ca/genetics_101.html
Reply:well it depends on the gene.
say it's a recessive gene..
if the snake is heterozygous then it won't show for that recessive trait.
if it's homozygous it will.
And then there are the co-dominant traits, which are a pain in the behind. because you then do not kow what you have and when bred, there is often no clear way of telling if the offspring carry for a certain trait or not.. until you breed them to a Known as well.
Short of talking with the breeder of your snakes, about their line and what they bred to you are pretty much out of luck.
You will need to breed the snake to a KNOWN snake that you know for sure carries that gene and see what is born to know for sure what your snake carries and doesn't carry for.
I don't know of any blood work for snakes that will test for that kind of thing.
As a dachshund breeder, I do know the dog one is $120 a pop so it gest expensive. I can imagine if there is one for snakes it would be more expensive.
Reply:I have paint horses the only way to tell if there homozigous is by blood work im thinking it would be the same with snakes too.

How would you describe color to a blind person?
My idea is to compare colors to the human chakra energy systems, which are based on wavelengths and colors. So, the blind person could "feel the color" in their chakra energy centers.
1st chakra center corresponds to : Red
2nd: orange
3rd: yellow
4th: green
5th: blue
6th: lavender, purple
7th: white
Colors are about wavelengths, which a blind person can feel but not see. In the chakras, they can feel the wavelength with its corresponding color. So, they must have ideas about colors from their chakras.
Any other ideas about how to do it using wavelengths as examples?

A question that really deserves a star!:)
How Do You Describe Color To A Blind Man?
To describe colors to the blind is not any easy task. Rather than using words to paint things they can't see and thus won't be able to understand, let's us play on their senses. Other than sight, they could smell, taste, hear and feel like ordinary human beings.
Describing color to a blind person would indeed be difficult. They have no sense of what color is and so to help them understand you would need to be able to relate color to something that they could feel physically with their hands or on their skin. Even when we close our eyes, we can still see the shift of light around us...so how would you describe light to some one who is blind. I am going to attempt to give the idea of color to a blind person.
red: pain-anger-shock-searing hot
blue: soft-soothing-smooth
green: the tickle of grass under your feet-strong like a tree full of leaves
yellow: warmth like the sun on your face
white: tasting like sugar on your tongue-feeling like a tear drop from your eye
black: not able to see through-like being blind
brown: the smell of coffee brewing in the morning-the feeling of mud in your hands
orange: the zesty smell of a peeled orange-pumpkin seeds baked and salted
pink: fluffy-sweet-gentle-cuddly
purple: the taste of grape or plum-the feel of velvet
gold %26amp; silver: hard like the feel of metal
gray: much like a rock you hold in your hand-gritty like dirt-the color of clouds pouring rain.
Reply:If you've ever seen the move "Mask" from 1985, then there is a segment where Rocky (Eric Stoltz) meets a blind girl at camp and he tries to show her by using a hot rock for red, a cool rock for blue and cotton for white. Watch it. It's a great movie. Cher plays his mother.

Reply:I'm giving you a star because this is a question that deserves respect. Not many people would think of this. Blind people sense things we cannot. I would describe red as the sun=hot
orange=fruit, smell would be strong to them
yellow=a lemon. another strong smell
green=grass, feel and smell of cut grass
blue-the ocean, the feel%26amp; sound of waves, smell the salt air
lavender, purple= I would have them smell the lavender flower I grow lavender %26amp; it smells wonderful
white= sheets
hope that helps
Reply:colour to the eyes is like smell to the nose
or sound to the ears, come to think of it sound is also wavelenths and frequency
Reply:describing those color won't make sense... cause they can't see it anyway
Reply:blind people dream in colour
Reply:First step is to introduce the colors in a detailed way (primary,secondary etc.,) next introduce the colors as to wavelengths, next is the characteristics of colors comparing it to the attitudes of a person like red=hot and so on..... site stories that enhance their imagination refering to a specific color...Lastly as you teach consider his/her capabilities for it will make him /her confused as a blind... Keep going until he/she will be interested, Blind have other sources in other things because they are sensitive and they can handle things as to what you will like him/her to be...Use some strategies in teaching...
Reply:RED= something hot
WHITE=water
BLUE= something cold
ORANGE= Smell orange
YELLOW = Something not too hot and not too cold or maybe drink lemonade or smell lemon
PURPLE = A smell of a purple flower
Thats what I think.

What herbal tea is good for insomnia or light sleeping?
I wouldn't call myself an imsoniac but I'm a light sleeper and have a sleep disorder.
Are there any kinds of herbal tea or herbs that will lead me to heavy sleep?
I heard a lavender is good but I want to try something else.
Could you refer me any herbal tea that will be helpful for my light sleeping?
What herbal tea is good for insomnia or light sleeping?
Chamomile, lemon balm, scullcap, valerian, catnip all help.
Reply:Valerian root, skullcap, and passionflower.
Reply:Chamomile and mint (peppermint or spearmint) teas are good for helping you relax.
Look for a tea that has the added ingredient valerian, an herb that is supposed to be good for promoting sleep.
One brand I like is Celestial Seasonings and their tea, Sleepytime Extra. It has mint, chamomile, AND valerian.
Reply:Chamomile tea is supposed to be good before you go to bed.
Reply:some teas are have caffeine like coffee it wont lead you to heavy sleep.
Reply:camomile tea is good
Reply:Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark. Soak a tablespoon of mint leaves in a cup of water for an hour, drink every night. Check out http://useinfo-insomnia.blogspot.com/ for more info
Reply:A blend of loose chamomille (flowers and leaves) and peppermint (leaves) will work. Boil one half tablespoon of each in about a cup and half of water for 6-8 minutes. You can buy both herbs very cheaply at www.mountainroseherbs.com
My 12 year old son has difficulty sleeping occasssionally due to medication he has to take and this blend works every time and has no contraindictions. Since there is no "tea" in the blend, there is no caffeine. (Tea is a type of plant, this blend is technically an "herbal decoction").
Valerian (the root) can be harmful in large quantities, but is perfectly safe to add in small quantities if you are drinking only one cup a day.
