Nice little caddy for underglazes or even majolica. A lazy color wheel!

Subject: Old spice rack and bottles in studio?
I have some old spice bottles and rack that are collecting dust in my =
kitchen
that I just don't want to give away. I JUST KNOW there is a use for them =
in
the studio, but don't quite know what just yet. The rack is a tall
rectangular shape and spins around (like a banding wheel) and 4 bottles =
stick
out from each side. Each bottle is about 4 inches long with a cap. Any
suggestions?

Cat, how about making up some homemade underglazes and putting them in your
spice jars?

There is a wonderful Judy Collins song about packing up your sorrows and
giving them all to "me". Oy, we should all be so lucky to have extra spice
bottles and racks!!!!
1. Store small quantities of underglazes and similar.
2. Fill with sample of any/all new raw materials that come into the studio.
Label carefully with date of purchase, dealer. Then when the next batch
comes in and does not perform as it should--and this may be years later--you
have a reference.
3. I have some stains that I mix myself--actually combos of colorants. They
get mixed wet, dried, stored in dear little spice jars on rack.
4. Odds and ends: the dentalfloss threaders I use for "feathering"slips.
The dies for my little 4" extruder. The extra pieces of new chamois that I
cut up ahead of time....My throwing chamois, by the way, is attached to a
wooden ring that not only makes it float but allows me better purchase on
it.
5. Small quantities of liquids normally living in big clumsy bottles:
glycerin, gum etc....
6. Might be idea to store bandaids, betadyne and similar first aid stuff
there. On hand, visible, safe....
The tempation is to add Gin and vermouth....but we know better than to drink
in the studio don't we?
