Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting for the Kiln to cool...
I almost feel like I jinx it by posting this...
However... what's done is done.
So... I want to post some photos when this new batch comes out...
I have a whole new plan for my display going forward.
Starting with just a few things for these small set ups I am doing... but I can expand.
Found a good folding shelf that the reviews on quality were strong and the price was decent. So I bought a few(they are stack-able possibly but) at this point it's a table top deal and I will use a 6 foot table with.... these new WHITE shelves and a creamy burlap fabric...Its the real deal burlap... a little bit of shedding, but hopefully... that won't be a big issue... I want a neutral natural(?) hip look and I am looking forward to working with the white and cream as background colors... made some displays with the burlap on some white easel frames to hang pendants, etc... I figure, It has that natural look so smudges of dirt won't be a biggie and where I cut the ends...I will just pull the threads away to give it a bit of a fringe...
I had this idea last night at 12:30am... and went and purchased the stuff today...
so we shall see...
I'm sure the kiln is still only at 500 degrees now...
so...
*twiddling of thumbs*
I will wait.
Grrrr.
Would love to see your set up when you have it done! Since my background is design, I'm all about the booth display! I have used burlap for lots of things in the past, makes me sneeze a lot but I love the look of it. Oh weird, my word verification is berlash
ReplyDeletewe used burlap for years- old tobacco bags- use to drape our gallery walls and used it for display.
ReplyDeleteI have seen both burlap and old apple crates showing up again.
It will interest me to see what you do.
I HATE TO WAIT!!!
funny judi, i even go down into the basement to check the temperature when i'm sure it can't be less than 1000 degrees. it's a funny ritual we all do, waiting
ReplyDeleteBurlap is great... after the shedding. I did some new deco in my gallery shop with it to kick-off the Fall season. Looks really good. But, man, I had burlap dust-bunnies for days. (Burlap and clay dust. Suck it in and toughen up those lungs!... Actually, I was able to get it under control with a couple of good moppings.)
ReplyDeleteHope your kiln load comes out great!
