I am working with a French client who has ordered a mural for a
new restaurant in our town. Her statements regarding color
indicate that anything blue she considers "strong", eye-catching to a focal
point. "Olive" is considered subtle. Blue is sacred among the Crow Indians. I
think human nature must draw us to blue.

Dear Marcia,

Hi! I imagine your mural is in the medium of *MAJOLICA...:) WOW ! that is
going to be great!.

I have a question. I don't think I got where (source) supply/store you find
propylene glycol for thinning the majolica? Maybe you weren't sure either?
Any hints.

I spent the entire day yesterday going over inventory and have to get an
order out for clays, supplies etc. I will go back to the studio today and
try and finish that up. I am anxious to do some majolica but not sure I
can succeed without an electric kiln. Maybe is time to submitt a proposal
for an electric? Majolica is really great! I know you will enjoy it too.

Thanks
