Well this week's PPF for me is a piece of porcelain. It's china painted on porcelain. Some paint on canvas, some on paper....I do that too but I also paint on porcelain.
China paints come as dry paint pigments that are mixed with oil. Each piece is painted multiple times and then fired in between each firing in the kiln. It takes several firings to reach the desired colors and look. This particular piece took me 4 firings to achieve the look I was going for. Don't you just love this sweet little face?
If you like her, she's available in my Etsy shop. Here's the link:

I'm so sorry to hear about your father and I'm sure you must be beside yourself with worry.
This is a lovely little piece - I am always intrigued at artist who use other surfaces to paint on .
I do hope your father is feeling better and getting the treatment he needs.
I love what you've done on porcelain! You are extremely gifted, and I will return to see more of your work.
All the best for your dad!
Sending great big hugs to you, Joann... You and your father will be in my thoughts.
I love the unique painting technique you bring to the party... very cool.

Hi Joann. Hope your father is doing better. Porcelain is just awesome and you've done a great job with the painting. That's a lot of work, she is darling.
Sorry to hear about your dad, hope he recovers soon. The painting on China is just wonderful! :-)
Nice work! My mom also has congestive heart failure and is doing well at the moment. Hope your dad will be ok.
I hope your Dad will be okay. My thoughts are with you both.
A very pretty little girl! My grandmother used to paint china but mostly flowers.
Oh JoAnn I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Blessings to you and him today. Your china plate is absolutely beautiful. That's crazy how many firings you have to go through to get to the finished product, but so well worth it! I am so glad you went ahead and posted this today. Take care.

I'm sorry your father is so ill and I hope he recovers as quickly as possible. I'm glad you got your art time in though, because it can help with the stress. The plate is really beautiful. I've always wondered how it was possible to paint on porcelain; how to get the paint to stick. Now I know a bit more about it. :)
