The paints have no toxic fumes of their own, it's the equivalent of leaving olive oil open on a dining room table. It's the solvents that are nasty. I use two different brands that are completely non-toxic, low odor and smell faintly of pine.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-3863743543346824112009-08-17T21:04:17.667-04:002009-08-17T21:04:17.667-04:00Bond - yes, those shelves were a pain to put toget...Bond - yes, those shelves were a pain to put together.

And we play with action figures and draw. <br /><br />You <i>do</i> get to cut the line in hospitals with asthma, at least in my experience. Before I started seeing a respirologist, I was in the emergency room twice a year. Asthma attacks are relatively quick. Get a ventolin mask over the patient's face, and check on them some time in an hour. I've sat in trauma rooms behind lead screens, and in supply closets. They shove you anywhere because they can, and so long as you have the mask, you're okay.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-31475579948350242722009-08-17T15:34:52.885-04:002009-08-17T15:34:52.885-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Heather Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236805562906727894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-2536163309318516362009-08-17T13:07:37.836-04:002009-08-17T13:07:37.836-04:00I always love to see others' studios.

It's really cool to find out that your work set-up has been affected by your relationship with your nephew. I envy the regular contact. I used to have all the kids (granddaughter, grandson, two nieces) over every Thursday, but then they got into school and now it takes a special occasion to see them.<br /><br />And you may be interested to know that one of the lead characters in my novel is asthmatic and her lung issues play a serious role in the plot.
