On the backs I decided to put the little bees again with my initials...with a slightly different configuration on each coaster. The little white dots I painted worked out surprisingly well, they nicely camouflage the three little marks from when they put the pieces in the kiln.
Here are the "before" pictures--after I painted but before the pieces were fired. I used the same wax resist technique I enjoy so much. It's fun to paint the picture, and then color it in like a coloring book :)
As you can see we usually accompany our pottery painting with a fine meal at Qdoba...mmm quesadillas with extra queso...
Here are the other two coasters...a ship and an elephant! Totally random but that's what I felt like painting.
And here are the two plates I started last time...
Lots of painting to do! Can't wait to see how these turn out. The whale and/or toucan plates are for my brother...we'll see which one of them he prefers.
Back to The Pottery Stop later this week to finish!
