I stayed late today to burn the binder out of all the hand pulled tubes I coated. Tomorrow I shall make a pretty doodle and (hopefully) see some fruits of my labour.

Fingers crossed for good shades of brown and pink light- a paradox I enjoy.

I have been noticing phosphor drips around the studio now. At first I was freaked out thinking they may release phosphor into the air- but they really just act like white paint. I cannot kick them up or scuff them.

Not sure if I should be laughing or terrified that my messes now glow pretty colors under a germicidal bulb?

Gosh- just look at that pink stripe! Some of my glassblower friends back their tubes with white glass. Sure that makes it look nice when its off... but I prefer the white backing to come from a glowing phosphor powder!

Sooo excited for tomorrow!
