I’m finally getting around to posting photos of the pottery Wildman and Cutie Pie painted for J for Father’s Day! We packed a lunch and met some friends at our local pottery painting studio one afternoon. I really wanted to work on something myself but with all the chaos of setting up, eating lunch and helping the boys with their projects, I ran out of time.
I absolutely love how the boys’ pieces turned out! Cutie Pie did an excellent job on the “My Dad Rocks” square plate. I think it looks rather Impressionistic. I, of course, helped a little with the lettering 🙂
Wildman went with blue and green stripes for his coffee mug. The mug is a great size and weight. It’s manly. Substantial. Wildman painted the word “Dad” on the side in green but it didn’t show up very well. So, I went back and defined the letters with a bit of navy paint. I think it came out wonderfully!
The boys each signed the bottom of their pieces and I added “Happy Father’s Day 2011”. I know we’ll keep these dishes forever! Perhaps, we’ll make this an annual tradition. Each year we can add a new item to our collection!
