My hand painted ceramics

 I paint

More specifically, I hand paint ceramics.

The kind of ceramics which have been painted in Europe for more than 600 years. 

I paint because I have always admired Italian ceramics.

I paint whatever makes me happy.

Lots of tiles for kitchens and fireplaces.  
Tiles I will never see again.

I get to keep the rejects.
They are valuable, but only to me.  
I can learn from them. 

These little jewels I paint just for myself.

I paint a lot of practical ceramics just as long as they are also pretty. 

Some large murals take many weeks to finish.

Flowers and hand painted ceramics are a natural pairing.

An urn elevates and makes everything special. 

New but painted to look old.

A little gold makes it extra special.

A "Tondino"  is a very practical and large dish.  

Bowls are always the first to go.  
So why don't I paint more of them?  

You will see this happy bird all over Italy.

So many tiles I have stopped counting.

Still a favorite.

Frost has come, more time to paint.

Must paint more bowls

Large or small, it doesn't matter.  

No matter how many bowls I paint I never get to keep any of them. 
Unless they come out of the kiln as a reject. 
That is the fun part.  I never know. 

Some of my bowls take a little more time to paint.

Some are sweet and simple.

And then there is everyone's favorite, blue, blue and more blue. 

I enjoy painting this border.  I make it up as I go along.  It never ends up looking the same.  

Bold

Happy and easy.

Sometimes I even paint the outside.

Some hold a lot, some little. 

This is still my favorite bowl.  

Have a great remainder of the week, dear friends,

Never have enough bowls

My dishwasher is always full of bowls.

It's the one item in my kitchen I never have enough of.

I paint them fancy and I paint them plain.

I paint the inside. 

And I paint the outside.

I paint them bold.

And I paint them colorful.

I paint them sweet and simple.

Even just in blue and white.

I can paint them so you can show off your family crest.

Or we can design one for you.

Most often I paint bowls just for the fun of it. 
No matter how many bowls I paint I end up with only rejects in my house.

Have a wonderful week my dear
Blogging Friends.
