The Rainbow House of Chooka Frood

[door_of_time]

"Number 99 was an eviscerated ceramics plant. During the war a succession of blazing explosions had burst among the stock of thousands of chemical glazes, fused them, and splashed them into a wild rainbow reproduction of a lunar crater. Great splotches of magenta, violet, bice green, burnt umber, and chrome yellow were burned into the stone walls. Long streams of orange, crimson, and imperial purple had erupted through windows and doors to streak the streets and surrounding ruins with slashing brush strokes. This became the Rainbow House of Chooka Frood."

- Alfred Bester, The Demolished Man

Another online friend of mine is just getting back into making ceramic art, after a hiatus. She's experimenting with different colors of glazes, so I copied and pasted the quote to her :-D
