Wired and Fired

My sweet friend Kelli and I had been talking about painting pottery together for awhile so we decided to head over to this quaint little part of town called Virginia Highlands to check out the Wired and Fired studio. We were also able to talk Erin into coming along with us, and even though she was scared to mess up, she turned out to be quite the Little Miss Artist!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I am in love with painting pottery, and because I have gone way too many times, I am running out of new things to paint each time I go. Tom and I decided that every year we wanted to get a Christmas ornament that represented what happened that year or was going on for us at the time. Soooo, I decided I would paint our first ornament! Sure, it might not be as pretty as a store bought one, but who cares! Kelli and Erin both decided to paint some pretty serving platters.

Erin made a "fall" platter and used leaves from outside as stamps! She was very excited that it actually worked..

Finished products! My ornament says Jenkins First Christmas 2009...
