Of course, I'm so drunk on clear yellow, amber and orange glass right now that ANY color probably would look right. And, actually, I'm not going to think any more about foot colors until I'm about to hit the switch on the new kiln. (she said in her most Scarlett voice) Jenn, Kat, thanks for the lovely compliments; I can't take credit for the sculpture, that's all Maria's and I agree, it's really a lovely, delicate foot. When you cut Rhubarb with clear (at least the couple of times I've tried, the green seems to get stronger, but like I said...ain't gonna think about that right now. ;-) Now the irony of this, Peter, is that the color of THAT foot looks just about right.

Cinderella does the same. Love it. What a challenge though. Peter Peter. Just to confuse you.

Did I show you Cork? Or was that also too amber? It is lighter than Straw. Those are some pretty feet! Rhubarb would be green in fluorescent light. Did I show you Cork? Or was that also too amber?

We have all had those jobs. But my god, those are some gorgeously cast feet. Maybe try Rhubarb - (cut with a hell of a lot of clear) I am sorry there was so much hell involved.

(Well, actually, Maria fired the original ceramic foot at the same time as the sculpture, so she would have replaced it and made an entirely ceramic sculpture if we hadn't been able to finesse the lemonade foot.) But I looked at the feet on my light table, with the light shining up and making them glow...and started thinking how beautiful this would be as a forest of glowing feet...so at some point I may do the reverse and make a bunch of limbs without a body... ;-) Don’t laugh; that’s about what it came down to when we thought the foot wasn’t going to fit.
