Hi again,
 
Yes, I use regular aluminum foil from the grocer.  I use the heavy duty (thicker aluminum) one and also buy the long roll (around 18 inch as opposed to the 12 inch roll). 
 
Have you read back thru the archives here?  There was another discussion on this very subject just last week.  Aluminum foil does work very wellif you can improve or don't mind the asthetics of it.  But when using aluminum and other metals you have to take into consideration frequencies bouncing back off of it from electrical sources inside your room. 
 
You are an artist!  (I am a designer.)  You could fashion yourself an aluminum screen with the aluminum over 2 or 3 wood panels or old doors hinged together.  (You could overlay the foil over a string design for an embossed effect and stain the creases with black paint!  Would be cool!) Used on both sides over wood panels/doors, you would then have 2 layers offoil and could move it.  OR better yet, you could have aluminum on one side and an rf absorbing material on the opposite, then you wouldn't have a problem with bounce-back of emfs.  I designed a similar room divider (without the embossing and rf fabric) made of 4 doors with permanent triangular shelves (shaped like a W) for plants, that I put on rollers and can move from room to room when you don't want the divider in place.  Thetriangular non-moveable shelves stabilize the system so it can be easily rolled.  I used foil, in this instance, in the doors' recessed panels for
reflecting light back onto plants.  You can often find old doors at a salvage yard for $10 or so (or sometimes for free from neighbors!)  The absorbing fabric would be expensive, but you could start out with aluminum on one or both sides and then go to the fabric if you aren't satisfied with how the aluminum is working re bounce-back.
 
There are many things you can use and perhaps using more than one item would work better than hanging your hat on just one particular fix.  For instance, in my house I am fixing up, I am planning to shield from 2 celltowers in front by planting 7 strategically placed white pine/cryptomeria trees, one strategically placed arborvitae, using window film inside the windows, using a metal window screen outside, and I am making drapery panels which I plan to back with an rf absorber fabric which I can draw closed as needed.   In addition, I am placing a couple indoor plants infront of one window in the livingroom which will shield the particular chair I will usually be sitting on.  For my bedroom, if these fixes don't get it, I plan to make an enclosed garden off the bedroom (an L-shaped enclosure in an existing L-shaped alcove on the end of the house) using Hardee plank, which is a high absorption siding material.  This is an ideaI'd like
to do either way, but since money is a factor, it is not on the top of my list of fixes (and will likely not make it into my budget or will have to wait about another decade).  lol 
 
I don't consider myself particularly knowledgeable in the area of shielding, so there are probably alot of other ideas others here have come up withbesides these.  What I am doing might sound like overkill, but none of it is highly expensive and it can be done one fix at a time.  I am starting with the trees (because they will also shield my yard) and metal screens, and will add from there as needed. 
 
Just some ideas to think about,
Diane

touching the body.  I had to fashion a shield to wear for a few
days while working on a new laptop last year.  It worked well.  I
formed an aluminum helmet for over my head at the same time, but it
was worse.  When I lined the helmet with a hood, tho, it worked. 
Same with jewelry- -silver or stainless steel necklaces, bracelets,
belts, and pins--if worn over thick enough clothing seem to help,
yet if worn directly on the skin will be excruciatingly painful.  The
pain from a stainless steel bracelet that I wore once in direct line
from a cell tower made me feel like I had arthritis all over, very
nauseous, and burned my skin where I was wearing it.  I took it off
and my wrist was red.

be good if they are attracted away from you.  On the other hand, what
Andrew said is also equally true.  One can wear it to help on the
body, just not in direct contact with the skin.
Thanks for the welcome. Did you use aluminum foil from the grocery
store? If not what did you use and where did you get it? Silver mesh
fabric or clothing is very expensive and if something else that I can
buy locally for a fraction of the cost will work I think maybe I'll
try that.
Since the strongest microwaves are coming from the cell mast
about a block away I have wondered if I can shield the wall in that
direction. I spend most of my time in the same place at a table doing
artwork and if most of the radation is coming from one direction and
I could work in the shadow of a shield that might feel better than
wearing something. I also want shielding while I sleep. I have
thought it might be worth the investment for silver mesh fabric 5'x6'
and I could shield the wall in the daytime and either put this on the
bed (which is on the ground) or hang it in between me and the cell
mast while I sleep. There are actually two masts and they aren't very
tall... about 90 feet. They are in a baseball park disguised as the
tall light poles. There are other towers and antenna in other
directions but not nearly so close.
Also do the grahmn stetzer filters have any effect on cell tower
radiation. And would the Q-link be of any help. It is so awkward to
have so many options online and to not know which might actually help
(and to manage to buy this stuff!!... aluminum foil is sounding
pretty good!!)
