My pottery Painting Result!

Here is the results of my pottery painting at Live, Love, Create in Brigg. Joesph and I visited the studio last week and spent an hour having a great time. Joseph painted a land rover in camouflage colours{which I'll post another time}, and I did this lovely tile - They have ideas for you to try out for yourself so that's what I did.
  I found the whole experience absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to visit again and have another go. The pottery looks so much better once it's been in the kiln and glazed, all the lines within the paint disappear, and the tile takes on the shiny effect.  The flowers are placed on the tile using the blunt end of a match stick! What a clever idea! I drew the pattern onto the tile with a felt tip pen, which burns off in the kiln.

They also had a playground party yesterday at Joseph's School, and all the children were given a commemorative mug, featuring the school name, the royal crest and the date of the wedding. What a lovely and generous thought. I hope he'll treasure it forever.

Well, Katherine Middleton is Just arriving at Westmister Abbey to become a princess, so I'd better sign off! Have a great day, whatever you plan to do xx

It was a great ceremony and she looked stunning. I watched most of it. Now just waiting for them to depart from Buckingham Palace. Better view from home. I did enjoy watching it. A much better view from home and less stress and none of that camping either.
