I just had to
go back with all this
Spring Fever in the air! This time I took a girl friend of mine, Chrissy, and we had a blast. Her favorite holiday
ever is Christmas so she did a snow-man platter. It was the last one and was actually designed and made by a woman in the Anchorage area. So she had to snatch the last one while she could! When we decided we wanted to go, I knew I wanted to do either a pot or a huge mug, but I didn't know how I wanted it to look. When I was trying to do pink polk-a-dots, I realized via happy accident, that if you waved the brush a certain way and brought it away from the surface at the same time, it actually made a
rose! I went to town with
the Queen of Hearts when I found that one out.
I left the handle the clay-white and did little roses inside and out with little green bee-lines instead of leaves. The whole of the outer-side of the mug is sea-sponged with green avocado.
I'm
soup-er excited about this mug. When I get the final version back next week, I'll post a picture with the finished
ducklings as well.

Cute,we have a place like that near our house that I want to take Mark to for our date night!
CUTE! This turned out adorable. You're so creative so I'm not surprised. I've wanted to go to one of those places. There are a few here in AZ by my house. Maybe if you come visit one day or when I come to Alaska we can go be creative together with our little pea pod brains.
