I want to use oil and candle light at night when we are watching movies and just hanging out instead of paying the utility company for electricity. It is hard to find oil lamps in my home area of Wisconsin.Where can I pick up oil lamps for indoor use that are inexpensive and still of high quality?

Oil paintings reproduced in print form, best quality?
I've tried many ways to copy my oil paintings into print form, with minor success. A format camera was suggested?Oil paintings reproduced in print form, best quality?
Some of my friends who are painters have asked me to photograph their paintings for the exact same reason you are wanting to photograph your paintings.
Because my friends are usually going to print really large, poster size and above I use a ';large format'; view camera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_camera using what is refered to as chrome or slide film. In particular I use Fujifilm Velvia 100 because of its fine grain and accurate color reproduction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvia. As for the format of the film I use, I use 4x5. When you are reproducing paintings you want to use a camera which yields the largest negative possible(there are cameras which make 8x10 negatives, but I don't have access to an 8x10), and use a camera which is able to correct for parralax which does come into play when you are photographing really large paintings.
Regarding the lighting, this really depends upon how textured the image is. However, in general what I do if the painting isn't overtextured with things like wax, and gobs of paint I use sort of a standard copystand technique except on a larger scale and horizontal with two equally balanced strobe lights fitted with large softboxes on either side of the painting http://www.marietta.edu/~mcshaffd/macro/鈥?/a> Like I had mentioned this technique works well if you don't have too much texture, but it your painiting does have a lot of texture then what you want to do is to move one of the lights in close and sort of strafe the edge of the painting so as to create shadows and deliniate the textures. Anyhow, I know this probably all sounds foreign but to be honest this is the only way I know to accurately reproduce a painting photographically. However, it really isn't all that hard to learn how to photograph your paintings, more than anything it is getting access to the equiptment, which if you live in a major metropolitain area is available for rent at large professional photo stores.Oil paintings reproduced in print form, best quality?
I've done this many, many times using diffuse outdoor light on an overcast day. Do not use a flash. Shade the picture, if there are any glare spots evident. Use Auto White Balance or the shady setting.
A soft box, as suggested by Shelly above, also works, if you can fit the painting in the box. I like the simplest way possible, though, and that's as I described.

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking to output your oil painting (on canvas, I presume) onto photo paper. If this is the case, then use an E6 to photograph your oil painting with appropriate lighting (a soft-box works) which will capture the richness in the colors of the paint. You can then process this film at a photo lab where they can also print your choice of frame. Hope this helps!

What's an affordable, good quality shampoo with TEA TREE OIL?
I'm sampling the Arbonne shampoo with tea tree in it, but am put off by the $28 price tag which will soon increase toward the end of the month. For all you Arbonne reps, don't get offended, I just can't afford it. Please recommend a good shampoo with high quality ingredients and tea tree oil near the top of the list.What's an affordable, good quality shampoo with TEA TREE OIL?
One of my favorites is Paul Mitchell Tea Tree, available at salons and beauty supply stores (where I'm from). I'm not sure about the ingredient list, but it works very well. They have several hair care tea tree products in various sizes. I don't think I've ever paid over $20 for them, though. Probably between $12 and $16. Hope this helps.What's an affordable, good quality shampoo with TEA TREE OIL?
Yeah my friend buys the 20 dollar bottle from the salon and it's only 2 ounces! I bought the V05 tea therapy at the dollar store and it has tea extracts. It's only a dollar, you can't beat that! It made my hair smell AND FEEL great!
JASON Tea Tree Oil shampoo....its all natural, really good for you and doesn't cost very much. You can find it in the health food dept at a grocery store or health food store.
Definitely V05 tea therapy
I have tried all the ones mentioned here and by far the one form Arbonne is my favorite. The ingredients are botanically based, no mineral oil and vega.
I don't mind paying the money, besides you can always get them at a 35% discount.
Body Shop!!!! They have cheep great products for, hair and face that are tea tree oil

All motor oil has to meet the same government standards...basically whether it's Pennzoil, Valvoline or Walmart brand, they all do the same thing. The only difference is the oils that have extra additives for cleaning, or the synthetic kinds. It is more important to regularly change the oil/filter, than the type of oil itselfWhats the best quality oil for a 2004 impala with a 3.8 and 90,500 miles?
go ahead and get synthetic oil,any brand except durabrand.I sugest ryoal purple 5w30facial oil

How can I have quality prints made of a oil painting?
The tecnology you are looking for is called Giclees. Gicless are fine art prints ususally on canvass that have the look and feel of the original oil painting. Water colors are often reproduced on Arches water color paper or a cold press, and are impossible to tell from the original.
The first step is to have the artwork either photgraphed by a professional camera where you can get a 8x10 transparency made. You could use an 6-8mg digital camera and the correct lighting. The transparencey will then have to be scanned into a digital file anyway. What most professional artists like myself do is have the artwork scanned on a flatbed ';Cruise'; scanner. This allows for the best detail. The artwork is now a high resolution file disk where it can be put into photoshop. Here the image is color balanced to the original art work. After that it is sent to what is called a large format digital printer which uses pigmented archival inks. Specially coated canvas is used to allow adhesion and the artwork is printed. The advantage of this over a lithograph is that the artwork more resembles the original as large format printes have a 6-8 color ink process, and can do 1400 dpi which is amazing. Gicless are worth a lot more money in resale.
Two companies in the US (and there are more) that I know of that do this are Que Imaging in Houston Texas and Harvest Productions in LA. Harvest has a neat video on U-tube that you can see how this works. You are looking at $100 and up for the scan or to make a $50 tansparency to then be scaned, and $15-20 a square foot for the printing and probably a one time set up fee.
The advantage to this is the quality is leading edge, and you can ( unlike a lithograph which demands you buy a minimum number of prints of 500 to 1000) you can make just one, and if you sell it buy another one. Unlike a transparency, you can easily make more cds of the image and keep the master in your vault. These images are what can be sent out printer ready to potential publishers.How can I have quality prints made of a oil painting?
litho is best but depending on your resources you may just want to take digital slides of the work and have them printed digitally.How can I have quality prints made of a oil painting?
The best way is to have lithographs made. I suggest printing on Cotton Rag paper. This is a very expensive process: however, you will be pleased with the results.
