I love painting pottery. I wish I could afford my own studio. I would just paint all day! But in the meantime, there's this great little place in Mt Juliet called Fired Up where you can paint your own pottery. Last week I went with a couple girlfriends for my birthday, and I painted this plate:
The best part? It was really easy. And I love the way it turned out. In fact, I'd like to make another one so that Josh and I could have a set for special occasions!
Have you painted or created anything lately that you just love? Tell me about it! (And if there's a picture or blog post, leave me the link!)

look like it was a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteIT WAS! I had fun hanging out with you in Franklin today! Thanks for the invite.
DeleteIt turned out so cute... You should make a whole set. Then when company asks you where you got them you can smile and say "I made them!" How fun would that be?
ReplyDeleteThat WOULD be cool! That was where the idea to make two came from, actually, but I'd have to make them over a long period of time, though, because each plate comes to about $25. So it's not cheap. I've got enough birthday money to make maybe two more. But I guess I could just be patient and make on every few months. Because yeah. That would be awesome.
DeleteI really like the pattern! I've always wanted to do that but never have! http://scrapsandpiecesofml.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteYou should try it!
DeleteI'VE always wanted to learn how to quilt, but I never learned to sew, so quilting is waaaay intimidating. I can't believe you HAND STITCHED some of your quilts! They look awesome.
You should team up with Joshua Houben... he throws/makes pottery.

I want to learn how to throw pottery! I took a ceramics 101 class in college that I LOVED, but we never made it to the pottery wheel. Is he a Joshua Houben of yours? His stuff is really good!
DeleteOh, it's so pretty!{you really SHOULD make a whole set!} One thing I'm rather proud of is my hat that I knit :) It's purple and fuzzy and not at all ugly as I was expecting it to turn out!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Trinka! Maybe I will make a whole set over the next year or so, as I can afford them. That would be cool.
DeletePurple is my favorite color! Your hat sounds cuuuute.
It turned out so great! You should totally do a whole set!
ReplyDeleteI like painting plates, but I just use acrylic paints I find laying around so haha its just for decoration I guess!

What a quirky sweltered panda plate! I love it! The quote is really cool, too. Thanks for sharing that with me!

!!!!!!!Thank you! I am so thrilled... You're amazing. Thanks for the feature AND for following me!
DeleteReally enjoy reading your blog-- keep it up! Recently I made some canvas art, which was so much fun. Check it out: http://missmoriahkeiko.tumblr.com/
ReplyDelete:) God bless!
Those are really cute! I want to make something like that.. I just haven't decided on my colors yet. Thanks for the encouragement!
DeleteThis is really sweet! I have to ask, did you paint it or use a paint pen? I work at a ceramics studio and I know that it's really hard to paint, or even paint pen, such smooth lines! Great job though. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol! I used little squeeze bottle with a very skinny nose.. I think I heard someone call it a "paint pen" while we were there! (I don't know the technical terms of anything ceramics-related :P)
