As promised, a bit about cobalt and specifically cobalt oxide my new tat. Here’s the facts, which I relate to very well. I began collecting cobalt glass at 15. My nickname has been cobalt for 60 years now.
Ores containing cobalt have been used since antiquity as pigments to give a blue color to porcelain and glass. Cobalt blue in impure forms had long been used in Chinese porcelain. In 1742, Swedish chemist Georg Brandt showed that the blue color was due to a previously unidentified metal, cobalt.
The first recorded use of cobalt blue as a color name in English was in 1777. It was independently discovered as an alumina-based pigment by Louis Jacques Thénard in 1802.Commercial production began in France in 1807.
The leading world manufacturer of cobalt blue in the nineteenth century was Benjamin Wegner's Norwegian company Blaafarveværket ("blue colour works" in Dano-Norwegian). Germany was also famous for production of it, especially the blue colour works (Blaufarbenwerke) in the Ore Mountains of Saxony.
* Cobalt blue was the primary blue pigment used for centuries in Chinese blue and white porcelain, beginning in the late eighth or early ninth century.
* Islamic pottery has a strong history of cobalt use, especially Iznik ceramic dishes and tiles starting in the 1400s.
* Traditional Bolesławiec pottery from Poland (also called Bunzlauer in German) made an extensive use of cobalt blue glaze. The pigment was used along with white in classic patterns of blue and white dots before the synthetic production of more variously colored pigments (yielding such colors as green, red, orange).
* Watercolorist John Varley suggested cobalt blue as a good substitution for ultramarine for painting skies, writing in his "List of Colours" from 1818: "Used as a substitute for ultramarine in its brightness of colour, and superior when used in skies and other objects, which require even tints; used occasionally in retrieving the brightness of those tints when too heavy, and for tints in drapery, etc. Capable, by its superior brilliancy and contrast, to subdue the brightness of other blues."
* Cobalt blue has been used in paintings since its discovery by Thénard, by painters such as J. M. W. Turner, Impressionists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet, and Post-Impressionists such as Vincent van Gogh. It is stable and lightfast and also compatible with all other pigments.
* Maxfield Parrish, known for the intensity of his skyscapes, frequently used cobalt blue.
* Cobalt blue is a commonly used color for interior decorating.

@thetonearm This has been in my collection since they were released back in early 90's. It was a thrill to pick up the remastered version on Bandcamp last week. The remastered version is very nice. Perhaps the percussion punched up a bit, which fits well with it's energy.

Oooh lookee here! I joined a new server and community only for photos. Recommended by @FediTips today. It’s supposed to federate with ActivityPub and play well with Instances using it. So here is a link to a well-known photo I shot back in 2007. And you’ll also have my account address by clicking into it. I’m cobalt there, no surprise!
It’s not an account or place for conversation like most social media. But looks good for photography content only. Hope it works out! #MyPhoto #Rock #Geode #Arizona #Crystals #CobaltBlue

Ah, the #art of naming colors as if they were ancient relics 🏺. Who could resist the thrill of discovering that cobalt blue was indeed blue and from Paris, no less? 🎨🔍 But don't worry, their "ongoing index" will surely keep saturating our lives with the excitement of one perfectly ordinary color per day. 🌈📅

Just in case anyone wonders about my nickname , exhibits 1 & 2 of my collection.
BTW I’m starting to work on again organizing my cobalt glass and rock and mineral collections. Literally half of what I own is still boxed up in my garage since moving here 3 years ago. Space is much more limited than 10 years ago when I had 5 glass display cases.

Egad. I posted the wrong photo. It’s similar but the alt text I wrote would not match the photo. You’d only know this if you both looked closely at the enlarged photo and also read the alt text on it.
So what the heck. I am getting more mad at the United Stupid today in America. Here’s more cobalt for you. #NIN #Concert #Phoenix #CobaltBlue

I’m posting something to show im alive, so if you notice the color of this great light show for NIN this last week you’ll know this post is prolly from me.
I am very unhappy about events and issues in the US, especially this last week. Right now I’m dealing with things pretty much only at home. #NIN #Concert #Phoenix #CobaltBlue

At some point it would be nice if I could go a few days in a row on Mastodon only posting beautiful art and fun things. No, instead, the US keeps on with the Horror Show.

PS the art I use for the cobalt blue background is a blur of a photo @stevenlawson allowed me to use. Check him out! -

Took down Christmas decorations but I didn’t want to take down the tiny clear lights around the windows yet. Drew, Ahmed and I decided we’d miss the glow in the living room at night. So I found a modern lamp on Amazon to try. We love it! There’s a remote control to change colors and motion effects, fade, flash, brightness and about 20 multicolor patterns and cycles. Whee! #CobaltBlue #Blue #Cobalt

This is what I’ve enjoyed for years through maybe 7 moves. Got awesome 68” tempered glass shelves with beveled edges to use for displaying my special cobalt glass collection. I love sunlight coming thru them. This time making white wood racks to hold the glass for my kitchen window area, 15’ long of windows. #Cobalt #CobaltGlass #CobaltBlue #Fossils #Minerals

This is from a photographic series I did some years back called Through a Glass Darkly. This one is called "Blue on Blue." Can you guess the subject? #PhotoMonday #FotoMontag #MonochromeMonday #photography #artprints #AYearForArt #CobaltBlue https://jon-woodhams.pixels.com/featured/through-a-glass-darkly-blue-on-blue-jon-woodhams.html
