The great thing about the porcelain paint pens is that you can wipe off your wretched first attempts and start over. Entirely. Over. And over. Again.
As I keep preaching to myself, Keep it Simple. So I quit trying to do anything fancy and made these little paper-chain-organic shapes. I'm happy with the results.

Remember these screen-printed dishtowels from last year? I still have that screen and I love love those leaves....maybe I'll make myself a set of cloth napkins....someday.

I'm not happy with having to take pictures in the low-light situations this time of year in the Pacific Northwest. I'm getting better at taking low-light pictures with no flash (big aperture, slow ISO, steady hands) but I think I should ask for a speed-lite flash and a diffuser for Christmas (Are you reading this, Wise and Bearded One?).

Envious! I really want to try screen printing. I need someone to take me by the hand and walk me through it. And the plate is adorable. I used some porcelain paint pens years ago when my kids were little. They'd draw on a plate freehand, then I'd give them as gifts to relatives, but I don't remember being able to get such a fine line with the ones we used? Do you mind sharing the brand you used? Thanks!
ooh! i just bought a speedlight last night! if you have a nikon, the sb-600 is now discontinued (but most stores still have them in stock), so you can find them for $200 less than the replacement flash. i'm just learning how to use mine, but i think it's gonna be lovely...
