Paint Party Friday

Today's painting is on porcelain. I love how these turned out. I was inspired by spring. The leafing out of all the trees and vines. I get so excited when I see the first buds on the trees. 

Here's a set of salt & pepper shakers and napking rings. I actually painted 8 of the napkin rings.  First I applied the blue pearl luster fired it and then painted the vine and leaves.  For the napkin rings I put a band of blue tape where I wanted the vine to go.  I love how these.  They are in my Etsy shop. I just put them up this week. The links are below.

I like the pattern you chose for these rings and shakers.Because of their neutral nature they would work nicely in a variety of combinations with other table settings.Very lovely work.

Excellent job, Joanne. My former partner back in PA was a china painter so I am familiar with the process. I like your simplicity and country look.
