I paint with Italian powder pigments and Italian glazes. The only difference, I paint here in the U. S. When you come back from Italy it would be a great idea to come for a painting lesson. I teach one on one lessons. Take pictures of the type and style of Italian ceramics you like and we will paint them here. That way you don't have to ship or schlepp them, they are heavy.<br />I have been reading your blog posts. Love your pictures and it is obvious that your children are getting a wonderful education.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-69942250076899433132011-06-21T16:36:35.902-06:002011-06-21T16:36:35.902-06:00I am in love with your beautiful work!

I'm an artist myself (writer/journalist/musician/photographer)and I definitely appreciate your gift!!! I showed my husband your work and he said that it absolutely looks authentically Italian, which is the biggest compliment he can give! When we move back to the States I hope to come out to one of your workshops!!! I've been reading back through your posts and reached this one about your collections. I will read more tomorrow!<br />Hugs/blessings,<br />Lana In Italylanakwaustin@att.nethttp://www.lanaaustinmotif.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-77527053497313841602011-05-29T07:59:10.840-06:002011-05-29T07:59:10.840-06:00Hi Sherry, the tussie mussie is quite old, maybe t...Hi Sherry, the tussie mussie is quite old, maybe time to put a few more little roses into sand.
