As part of our fabulous week of endings..we decided to finally use the gift certificates that Lib gave us for Christmas and go paint pottery together. All Fired Up is a pottery painting place that has tons of plates, cups, bowls, figurines, frames, vases, etc. that you can pick out to paint. Once you've picked out what you want to paint you go over to the paint station and pick your colors. There are SO many colors so sometimes it can take forever to pick out what you want. I went with specked red and black because i wanted to do a tree on my plate. It's a really neat atmosphere where you just sit and paint and listen to music. Even if you aren't that creative there is something wonderful about being able to just paint and enjoy quiet time listening to music. One of the great things about being such close friends is that we dont always have to entertain each other as much as it really is just nice to be in each others company.
It always takes a good amount of time painting the pottery because you want to wait for each coat to dry. Periodically one of us will stop and ask what the others think we should do next, paint next, which color to choose, etc. By the end we actually ending up spending a good part of the day there. The worst part is you have to wait like 2 weeks before you can get it because they have to put it in the kiln and then it gets a great glossy look. oh, and your colors totally change, which is very exciting. Overall a successful and very fun day. i cant wait to see how it turns out! Enjoy the photos below!
until tomorrow.
