Mad Potter Party December 7, 2002 |
|
Stacie Gibbins had a great idea for a party at
the Mad Potter. It's this cool store that lets you decorate different
pottery pieces, then they fire them for you. We had a great time
visiting and painting. I was surprised to learn how artistic my
friends are! |

Here we are, getting started | Carlotta and Stacie, creating away |
Amy is making a fish trivet for her Mom (hope she doesn't see this site before Christmas!) while Julie watches with pride and amusement. |
|
Jenny, waiting for a coat of paint to dry, and Kate, still optimistic about her teapot |
|
Here's my little masterpiece. I used a stencil
and then painted inside the lines (I tried to stay inside them anyway.)
It looks much better here than it did in real life!

Here's Julie demonstrating the stencil
technique for her snowflake

Stacie showing off the very nice chili pepper bowl she made for EJ's parents | Kate, now having second thoughts about the difficulty level of teapot painting |
Here are most of our pieces on display. Breathtaking! | And here's the whole gang (minus Julie, who is still working frantically) |
