Quiz: What is a fugitive color? A color that's prone to fading when exposed to light.
There are some watercolor colors that change color almost immediately  after drying....some are our favorites.
Readings: Wilcox Guide to the Finest Watercolor Paints.  By Michael Wilcox. Tells all about fugitive colors plus lots more.
 Editorial Reviews.....From Library Journal
What is the difference between Cadmium Yellow and Cadmium Yellow Hue? How does this difference affect the quality of the watercolor? Which Grumbacher Red is superior, Alizarin Crimson or Thalo Red? These are a few of the many questions asked by both professional artists and serious amateurs that are answered here. In cooperation with the manufacturers and fellow artists, Wilcox has painstakingly researched this book, which allows readers to design their own pallettes choosing the best colors from the confusing array of pigments and brands available. Without a predetermined loyalty to a single pigment or manufacturer, Wilcox provides a color sample plus lightfast, washability, and health ratings for each color, while also giving a history of the particular color group and original pigment ingredient. An invaluable book that discusses what the "how to" art books do not; essential for any library with a sizable instructional art book collection.

My friend, Lauren from Maine, spent time in Phomn Penh, Cambodia helping children. While she was there she took some photos of a loom. She sent them to me and I thought you  might be interested in seeing them. This is what she wrote: "This was taken at the Palace Museum in Phomn Penh. The loom was so long and decorated by the lovely dragon carvings at the end".

  1. Yay, now we can all comment. I love your blog Joni, keep up the good work.
    I would like to encourage everyone to go down to the Tulelake Fair and look at all the photos, quilts and art. There is some truly amazing work there! Saturday the spinners and weavers will be there, including me, so come say "hi."
