Pottery

Well here is my first ever piece of painted pottery! This is what I did one night while we were on vacation. It was so relaxing and I just loved sitting and talking to the girl that does it all of the time and learning all of her secrets. They in no way do any kind of hands on to help you but they will talk you through things like "you need another coat of green so you don't see brush strokes." Looking at it now I wished she would have told me I needed more black on the "A", and that I should have spaced my dots out a little better and well there is probably not a lot she could have done to help steady my shaky hand but oh well....I know I am no Kim Wheeler but it was fun and I did it all by myself!!!
