A New Experience


Wish me luck!




It isn't difficult to paint, but it is! Not because of the design or because of the shape. It is difficult to paint because I am painting on top of a layer of white POWDER.




Need to hurry and paint the lid so that I can get this urn into the kiln. At 1800 degrees the pigments will fuse with the Maiolica glaze and that is when the magic happens, if I'm lucky.
A few weeks ago the Mayor of our next town came to our artist meeting with a proposal. Would we artists consider coming to her town for the 4th of July celebration and sell our art?
Only a month ago I set up shop in the "Old School" for Memorial Day Celebrations in our little town. I did well. Made a little money for the school fund and a little money for myself. I was lucky.

Will I be lucky tomorrow?
