So the weeks have gone by so fast that it is hardly fathomable. I knew this would happen, but it is so surreal when it is almost over.

Do I feel happy with the work I've done? Well, it's not over yet! I will know in 2 days. The test tiles I made just made me itch for more. I wanted to make more as soon as they came out of the kiln. But there is this thing called sleep that I seem to ignore lately! The cobalt oxide is definitely the way to go for decorating on my spoons/measuring cups. The lines are finer with a nice mix of gum arabic water. Cobalt carbonate was too light and was VERY hard to paint with. Karen and I agree that the oxide is the best. I have sincere fear today about unloading and actually glazing these cups with racial slurs. this project seems good in my mind. Can I make it better than good in reality. Well, off to the studio to find out.
