Working with color

I’m not the best at keeping this blog updated these days (though I do have some fun ideas in the works). Running an online business means that we spend a lot of time on the computer. Therefore when I have free time, I don’t usually decide to do more computer-based stuff (unless it’s Pinterest!). I’ll usually try to spend free time outside, either in the garden or working on our 137-year-old house.

Lately, however, I’ve had requests from several customers to create specialty prop colors, so that takes me out of the office, away from the computer, and into our workshop in the backyard! Spring is in the air, and in our studio, with shades of lime green, bright orange and magenta. These first two photos were taken yesterday during a couple-hour afternoon pouring session. And below them, you can see examples of the colorful results!

Air Force Acknowledges Mustache March Legend

The annual rite of facial hair abandon known as “Mustache March” may be officially and technically over for the year, but it’s still going strong in spirit, and on the faces of proud deniers now deep into Mustache Mapril revelry.

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside clean-shaven comes the revelation that the U.S. Air Force, or at least one unit within it, released a video acknowledging the existence of Mustache March and the official connection between the military branch and the now simultaneously beloved and reviled tradition.

Check out the Air Force Mustache March video at http://www.dvidshub.net/video/285106/mustache-march-going-strong-and-growing-long#.UW15hRlAGN5

It’s still Mustache Mapril for two more weeks, to be followed by Mustache May, Mune, Muly, Maugust, Meptember, Moctober, Movember (recognized outside fanatic circles), Mecember, Manuary and Mebruary. Bear in mind that for those ashamed to have shaved “prematurely,” WhiskerWorks.com still shamelessly supports mustache junkies with prosthetics that may actually outshine what you were, are or believe to be capable of growing yourself.
