vaguely productive

 Still the hunt for a box proceeds....there is one in the local Emporium...but it is a vintage article with an ink pront on the end showing company details etc. Too good to paint over. I went to a few shops....no luck...

Then a double check at the opticians to be sure that the drops have worked...all ok, one more day of drops to go and a scrip for hydrating eye drops after that. It is probable that the spray for my sinuses is drying my eyes......ENT and all that!!

Home, and a couple more paint tests....



I'll take another photo in daylight. Each colour has its good points, it is a difficult choice!!

Now it is leçon and lights out time.

All this "peopling" is tiring!!

...I like white, it's rather easy to pick!

Oh for the days of wooden apple crates. We had two really sturdy ones as toy chests when we were kids. I picked up a decent(ish) wooden chest at the local Refuse Station a few weeks ago - had been a theatre prop (Picton Am Dram must have had a half decent props builder - or maybe it had been storage for kit before plastic crates became the latest must-have). Nice colours, rich, definitely saturated.

I agree "peopling" is very tiring.

Ah, colour choices! They are seemingly endless. I like the lightest one, at least on my phone but in person it would look entirely different i bet .

It's a bit lighter, but I have used one called Copper Blush for living rooms here and at Ynyswen. A nice warm colour without taking too much light from the room.

ah, but which white?! The white here is "Ivory"...the previous Brilliant White was a very cold colour

I may choose a different colour to re-upholster the sofa...all these colour choices, when I prefer to work in B&W in printing!!

I tend to choose warm white in a satin finish.
I do like the rose color in your options.
Will you be making more pottery soon?

gz said...

hopefully potting soon...but a cold workshop isn't exactly inviting!!

Ooh—I love all the colors lined up—how bout painting stripes!

gz said...
