change of plans

i had a nice epic day of enameling planned. instead, after the kiln finally heated up (it takes about 3 hours to get to temperature), the power went out for an extended period of time. when the power goes out, it takes me another 2 hours to get the kiln to temperature again, even if it just went out for a minute - super annoying.

so instead, i started working on components of some new organza pieces by candlelight while i watched modern family (a new, very funny show i just discovered).
