February in the studio continues much the same as January. I'm steadily working through my cast hands commission, and the table gets more crowded each day. Cats and bunnies are getting closer to casting. The blue wax dye arrived and the colour of hands shifts from sunflower orange and burgundy to royal blue and I have had some surprising results from my pot drizzle experiments.
