Keeping the Light On

Here's one of my tree luminaries. This one is glazed an olive green with a yellow star at the top. I have one of those battery operated votive candles inside. I'm keeping the light on because I'm firing the kiln right now. I spent all day yesterday glazing. I have four more luminaries in this firing and other work so stay tuned for photos soon.

The winter vortex arrived and it's 27 F outside but the kiln room is nice and toasty. I gave Barney a wool blanket. That might seem exorbitant but I got it at a thrift store. Hopefully he's staying warmer. Gary said he saw Barney go in his covered bed the other day but he came back out. Gary also said he's seen Barney going in the culvert under the driveway. When it's raining he couldn't go in there since it would be full of water. I just peeked outside and Barney is snuggled up in his wool blanket. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  3. Hi Gigi, thanks so much, with the battery operated votives these are safe for out of doors or for a child.

  9. Love the color green on that luminary. Very nice. Barney is a handsome fellow, glad he likes his wool blanket. I've told you my Dad's name is/was Barney, right?

  10. Hi Barbara, thanks, that's kind of an olive green, no you didn't, how funny, Gary said his friends in high school used to call him Barney because they said he was just like Barney on the Flintstones.
