Color Me Mine

Last week, two of my friends from church and I went to one of my favorite places in Provo, called Color Me Mine. It is a pottery place where you pick a piece of pottery you want to paint and you paint it however you want. They have tons of stensils and paint options to choose from. We were there for over 2 hours. We had so much fun choosing which colors to use, what designs to paint, etc. I chose to do a Santa Plate and here is the finished product! It turned out as good as I hoped. A few of the details I painted ended up not showing up, but it turned out alright anyways. I think pottery is the hardest craft to paint because you never know exactly how it is going to turn out! Talk about stressful! You can turn your piece in thinking it looks great the way you have painted it, but then once it is fired it can come out looking totally different. I am glad that wasn't the case this time! Let's just say I have had lots of "practices" at this, and I am still "practicing" to master this art.

Here is a close up shot.
