Her hair appears frosted. (It’s really the dust from cleaning greenware.) She has a fantastic memory – remembers when Sue’s baby was born and what color Anne used on her dwarf two years ago. she also has gold-toned fingernails (fingertips are often a maple color from antiquing) She has a quiet, calm manner – especially when explaining to a new student how to handle greenware and reminding visiting children not to run up and down the aisles. You’ll find paintbrushes behind her ears so they won’t get lost. she wears a huge apron to cover her clothes. (paint gets on her clothes anyway) And she wears sneakers with polka-dots. (oops!! Those are paint drops)
