🀸‍♀️πŸ’• Don't fall over .... but πŸ’› I finally cracked open my new paints πŸ’›πŸ’•πŸ€Έ‍♀️ happiest of days it was ... it's been tooooo long since I lost myself in colour ...

🎨 I took the time to swatch the paints before ...
πŸ’› taking my pencil ... letting this little one pop out ... no filters on the photo ... the colours are so rich.
🎨 The time passed ... surrounded by her whispers ... happy hands and heart ...
πŸ’• Finding peace ... tooooo another  ...

πŸ’›πŸ€Έ‍♀️  heart bursting, soul singing moment ... opening the kiln after the first firing with my pot from last week ...
πŸ₯°πŸ€Έ‍♀️πŸ’• It survived wooohoooo ... I was worried it might explode!! 
🎨🀸‍♀️ Here's my workdesk this morning ...it's so sunny ☀️ πŸ’•πŸ€Έ‍♀️ the pot came out white with no cracks, woohooo  ... pulled up my brave girl pants ... started to add underglaze this morning ... it's both exciting and scary all at the same time ☺️
 I've never used them before ... watched lots of videos 😊 if you have any tips they would be much appreciated. I've just added chestnut brown to the umbrella ... going to take my sponge, clean up the edges 😘 next. 
😊 I'll pop it in the kiln πŸ”₯ once I'm finished adding colour and it's all dry ... learning patience through working with clay!

πŸ’•πŸ’› I've taken a few days of as Alex's on holiday 🀸‍♀️πŸ’›πŸ’• looooove our time together πŸ₯° much needed it is! 

❤I'll be around visiting the WOYWW girls ... one of my favourite parts of the week 🀸‍♀️πŸ’›πŸ’•πŸ₯°❤ seeing what everyone else is up toooo. To those that stopped by last week ... thank you from my heart ❤your words are read and mean so much.

πŸ₯°πŸ˜ŠWish me luck with the underglazes and the next firing ... hopefully be finished to share next week ... once I pluck up the courage to add paint 😘plus my new stamp samples will be here 🀸‍♀️πŸ’•πŸ’›

⭐ Wishing you all a gorgeous week ahead with all you have planned.

So glad the pot made it through its first firing Tracy. Best of luck with the underglazes - I really look forward to seeing the next stages. Love the new paints - the colours are so lush. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #10

Looks as if you have a lovely place to spend your morning in with the light filtering through. No wonder yu could create your latest little one and those paints look gorgeous. Happy times ahead with them!
Well done on the firing of the pot - never used underglazes so cannot help out there but good luck and I look forward to seeing the end result.
Hugs, Neet xx 2

Hi Tracy, loving the pot. You will have realised by now that joining in here seems to bring Wednesday round very quickly.

Annie said...

Thanks for your visit to mine and for your lovely comments. This is the 11th Luna Latin rabbit I’ve made now plus I’ve made many characters from her next book.
I really love the pot you’re making. I used to love pottery at school and if I ever win the lottery I’d love to treat myself to a potters wheel and kiln.
Hugs,

Well done on the pot. I used to ceramics in my younger life. I just realized I haven't been leaving my number in all these comments, now that I am almost done. On the other blog hop we don't have to leave our number; we just comment on all of them, but here is my #3. Happy WOYWW

I hope the underglaze goes right, I never expanded my creativeness to pottery but seeing what you did my fingers start to itch... sooo lovely! Your drawing/painting as well, those colours look indeed richt! Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday, I wish you a lot of sunshine and a lovely week! Love from Holland, Marit #4

Lunch Lady Jan said...

I love everything about your girl artwork from her rosy cheeks to the pattern on her sweater - you have a way with drawing that captured the character so well. And your swirly girl on the pot is extra lovely too now that the underglaze worked so well, love love love it!
