Fairytale Pottery

Okay, It is finally here!!! I will confess to you that I have been *dreaming* to get these done but like anything else for the first time....LOTS of errors until I was able to get it right!

I never thought that apply a decal to a surface would be so hard. My first pieces were no good because I had air bubbles trapped even though I could not see them. It was frustrating to see perfect teapots with the decal missing here and there.

Good news is that these are some of my best results. The first picture shows my favorite set. It is a "Tea for One" ... grin... just the perfect special piece for a quite tea time.

As you can see , they are listed at my etsy store.

I have few other pieces ready and when I have a chance I will list them there.
Thank you for your visit and of course, your comment *ALWAYS* makes me smile!

Helping a mouse in need

When it comes to illustrations , there is nothing like little mice. I just love them.*grin*
I have been working with winter illustrations and I plan to show it to you sometime.*grin*

Any one that knows me for the past 8 years , knows how much I love little mouse and how many have been subject for my sculptures , specially in wool. Couple years ago I did a little bird helping a mouse in need and this time I have a kind mouse helping a *frozen* vagabond.
I then had my painting turned into decal. This was not an easy find. I knew a company that made them but it was not good quality , however I found one that I truly liked it.
Once the decal was made, I transferred to the porcelain teapot and fired in my kiln. The decal is permanent. I love the results and now I am excited to make more!!!
Do you care for some tea?
