Latest projects

When I was in Utah, all of my friends would talk about going to "Color Me Mine", which is a place that you can go to and paint your own plates, cups, bowls etc.  I always wanted to go, but never had the opportunity.  That desire continued and recently, I found a place near my house that does the same sort of thing.  You can go in and paint a ceramic something, leave it there and come back a week later and it's all fired and glazed and amazing looking.  Turns out that I love it.  It's so fun and relaxing to do!  So, I went just before Christmas a couple of times.  The first time I made a cookie plate, the second time and ice cream bowl.  I ran out of time with the ice cream bowl, so I actually didn't finish it until just a couple of weeks ago.  For some reason I decided to be detail oriented so even though I'm no artist, it took me forever to do!  I had such a blast though.  The next projects I will believe be a small candy bowl for my desk at work and a... dish? to put on the stove top- the type where you can put your spoons and spatulas and such in order to keep the stove top cleaner. It's so fun.  I would probably go back every weekend if I could!
