K Kon-Hemsby Member Andover, England Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1287	K Kon-Hemsby Posted posted on Mon, Feb 7, 2011 1:03 AM I've recently started using the lemon extract ( or orange extract) and I've found the best method is to soak the bread or crouton in it, and also soak a sugarcube in it. Place the sugarcube onto the bread/crouton and light. This combo gave me the best height flame with the best longevity of burn.

How many of the bottle above your head can you name? I am at 13-15. Not 100% sure on a few. Is ther a vintage bottle up there?

I'll post some clearer pics of the rums if you wanna have a guess at them. Nothing 'vintage' there I'm afraid, and igonore the moai,and the middle ship's lamp, they're just decanters. Mahalo

K Kon-Hemsby Member Andover, England Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1287	K Kon-Hemsby Posted posted on Mon, Jun 6, 2011 1:32 AM Question for you all. I need to put some more additional items on the ceiling. Any ideas? So far we have a couple of floats, some cork, and a spear. We need to clutter it up a bit.
SF Slacks Ferret Tiki Socialite Calgary Joined: Oct 02, 2003 Posts: 1396	SF Slacks Ferret Posted posted on Mon, Jun 6, 2011 7:21 AM I've got the same issue KH. I started by stapling my Oriental rattan hats on my ceiling, but it definitely needs more. No matter what, Once it's all up it's going to need some more pufferfish lamps and glass floats on my ceiling. Lately I've been thinking of placing some "jade" tiles up above, all primitively tied together with bamboo sticks and jute. I've also thought of placing old ocean maps up above. Or smaller chunks of tapa cloth. Or all of it.
K Kon-Hemsby Member Andover, England Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1287	K Kon-Hemsby Posted posted on Mon, Jun 6, 2011 12:01 PM Tapa sounds good. As for Jade Tiles, brillint but impossible to get over here. Thinking I might put a fishing net in one small area, have it sagging and fill it with flotsam and jetsome.

I did that on one third of the room, and it's quite effective. The tiles are very hard to come by here too. I was thinking if i go that route, it will be with tiles that i make myself. Perhaps that's an option for you?
