Painted pottery...House Divided


Have you ever been to one of those places where you can paint your own pottery? They're pretty awesome. Found one in my hometown and got a great idea to make a wedding gift for friends. The bride went to Oregon State but the groom went to University of Oregon. This is called "a house divided". The people at the pottery store...Rose City Ceramics....showed me how to transfer a design on to pottery and then helped me with the process. It took me three hours to paint the right number of coats for this to come out looking so great, but it was well worth it...as you can see. The plate was less than $25 and all the paint and firing costs were included. When I gave it to my friend, you can see how happy she was with it. Her hubby liked it too. Right now it's in a place of honor...the middle of their coffee table.
