#87 - Paint a piece of pottery (62/101).

I like to think that I am creative but I wouldn't call myself artistic. I enjoy thinking about how colors mix together and how to turn a blank slate into a finished product. I asked a friend to go pottery painting with me last week because I love painting pottery and turning a white piece of pottery into useable decor.

The door sign entering into the pottery place read "Entering Into a No Stress Zone". I was very excited when I read this as I had a tough week and was looking forward to spending a few hours focusing on my creation. We brought wine and cookies with us to paint and enjoyed a fun few hours in the studio. I decided to paint a spoon holder using three different colors, a teal, sea foam green and baby blue. I first painted the whole spoon holder baby blue, used a sponge technique with the sea foam green and then used a lace technique with the teal. We ended up staying past closing so I was a bit rushed at the end but I think it still turned out ok. I am excited to use my spoon holder at home, it even matches my teapot!

Here is step one (pre-paint), step two (after paint, pre-kiln) and step three (after kiln, ready for use):
