Fun, Fun - Hidden Sun

I am a child of the sun. I grew up in the Western and Southwestern parts of the United States, where we standardly received 270-300 days of sunshine each year. I moved up to the frozen Midwest US when I married my husband and have been up here for a LONG time. The thing that gets to me are the grey days. It's one reason why I love color so much. And, since the weather yesterday was determined to remind us of winter, it was a joy to spend the day at the kiln.

I purchased new enamels a few weeks ago for a project in-works. I had no color samples, just pictures in a catalog. Pictures in a catalog just don't make color clear. So, I had cut new color strips and marked them. Yesterday was spent stamping the color numbers, prepping the copper, and making color strips for the colors. Of course, since I couldn't find my old color strips from when I moved my enamel studio to my home from my shop, I started also making new color strips for all of my colors. I didn't get as much kiln time as I wanted, but it was such a joy to be back at the kiln - even if it was to do something as mundane as color strips. So...color your world in bright and vivid colors today. Enjoy and relish your day.
