Jamie and I went to a paint your own ceramic place called Fired Up! while she was visiting me. We both went out separate ways in the store picking out our pieces to paint and thought it was funny that we both had picked something with a woodland theme to it. Mine is the fairy and Jamie's is the mushroom. It was a lot of fun to do and I am looking forward to a return visit to this place with Jamie!
Entering this in PanPastel's challenge: #28 Magical and Mystical
The most difficult thing about painting with slip is that it soaks into the ceramic so quickly that it is hard to see the color being used. I wanted to add more shading to her arms, but was worried about leaving streaks since I couldn't really tell what I was doing! lol I also needed a magnifying glass to really get into the details, like the eyes and fingernails...oh yeah, my fairy has painted toes and nails! lol And you can see that Jamie and I really got into dots, they had these cute little bottles with these small tips to do dots and lines with, I really think I need some of those bottles!
Now I just need to go find her a plant to hide in while she daydreams out on my balcony!

Some craft stores sell those tips. They are metal, right? I used to have one, but it didn't make it home after the flood. I know, because I specifically looked. I really like how you used slip for glaze. Nicely done, too.
what a lovely set you made in the class!! =)

hugs, SannaS
