Domo-kun Square Plates!

It's getting to the summer time and I haven't been crocheting much! But I did go to paint pottery again!!! This time, I got two plates painted like domo-kun :D A pink and a brown one. Originally, I had thought the pink domo kun was his girlfriend or something.. but it turns out that was not the case. The pink domo kun looks like it was a valentine's day special so they were selling him as pink! There are actually many other color you could have your own domo kun in, and even with nerd glasses!!! (THAT'S NEXT...)


Anyways here's a photo of my coolest plates ! 

Rawr!

Christmas Pottery Presents!!

So this christmas I painted two potteries! I'm actually quite happy with how they came out, and i'm also very jealous and would like to make one of them for myself!!! And i will.. SOON.


I thought I was quite creative this time around, and i'm also very proud!


Here are before and after photos!


NINTENDO PLATE!! <3

Right after it was painted. NO STENCIL! I'm just that awesome :)

After the glaze! oh boy.  This was lovely.  I want.

Next, I made a .... DOGGY BANK! I mean, obviously meant to be a piggy bank.. but painted like a dog, more like Abby's dog as you can see below where she placed it right next to her puppy!

Before glazed

Isn't that cute? hahahaa.  I think i should have made the body a little bit more brown but oh well!

ok so, I .. want to paint myself a nintendo platter now.................

Lucky Mug!

So I got my boyfriend to join me in my pottery painting experience.. and it was so awesome hahaha.  He took.. like.. FOREVER painting his.. i mean i knew that some guys are like "ew why would i paint pottery" but then once they start, they have extreme attention to detail it's crazy.  Anyways, so I wanted my mug to contain clovers.  4 leaf clovers to be exact. So it's like, my lucky mug! I actually ended up loving the way it turned out - i mean, wouldn't you want to buy this at the store?!??!!? It could be like my own collection. The Lillian Wong collection. Eh.. that sounds really weird.  I'll just call it the.. Pearl Collection.  Anyways that's years down the road when i can actually learn how to be artsy but for now maybe i was just REALLY lucky.. hahaha..anyways 

My mug!

My boyfriend's mug!

Oooo and I made a WATERMELON COASTER!! So there IS some kind of crochet in this blog at least.........well here's the watermelon coaster for my mug! Pattern is by Yarn Pixie.

Watermelon (BFF) Bowls !

Oh my gosh I can't believe I havn't posted this yet - I just recently got into pottery painting!! Like, you go buy some ceramic pottery at the pottery place and just paint away - they will glaze it for you for free!!! Anyways, I started a teapot back in when I was in grad school right before I graduated. It turned out kind of.... funnny........... not quite what I expected.  But no photos of that ANYWAY.  however, I found a place over in east Bellevue (WA) and I LOVED their collection. I have yet to find an even bigger store.   Their website is here : http://www.paintedbykathy.com/

Anyways I managed to convince my bff to paint, and she convinced a few of our mutual friends to come along too and paint!! haha so it was this semi large painting party and i think we were the oldest ones there...


We ended up painting WATERMELON BOWLS! We call these the "BFF Bowls" . Because when you put the two together you make one :) AWWWWW <3 

After it is painted

After it's glazed! 

Anyways hers came out a lot nicer because she made it nicer.. hahaha i was a bit sloppy but overall i was still happy! Oh gosh wait for the next post... I got my boyfriend to paint with me :)
