Violet Crucible | Binturong Enamel Artist Fantasy Character

The story of Violet Crucible

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The binturong holds the small medallion in long metal tongs, bringing the blue surface close enough to inspect. Pale whiskers stand out against the shaggy dark fur. A violet coat sits beneath a light apron, and the orange kiln door makes the blue enamel look especially cool. Small samples hang from the brick wall behind the workbench.

The artist makes enamel pieces for people who want to carry a reminder of a place. A baker asks for the exact blue of a door that was painted over years ago. The artist has an old piece of copper from the bakery and works through a row of samples until the baker recognizes the color in evening light.

The picture shows a workshop organized around small things. Bowls and tools sit low on the bench, while a handful of finished designs hang where they can catch the light. The long tongs connect the artist's gloved hand to the round piece and leave room to see the face and its expression.

A story about the studio could begin when a customer recognizes an emblem among the samples. They bring in a matching piece with a different glaze, leaving the artist to decide whether the two were made in the same kiln or copied much later.
