Dishing It Up

I've painted a lot of things in my day... but never dishes. :) At least not something I didn't throw on a pottery wheel myself.  So this was a little new for me... and fun! I used the Martha Stewart line of glass & ceramic paints on two pieces I picked up at the local Dollar Tree store.  For around $5.00 my niece will turn three in style with her very own birthday dishes.  She loves orange... and tigers... can you tell?!

I highly recommend this project... it's super fun and simple.  The paints take a little time to dry (and it's not the easiest to paint onto to finished ceramic), but then you bake then in the oven for 30 minutes on 350 (and let cool down as the oven cools down).  Tada! They are now even dishwasher safe.  Hope she likes them... they are being shipped out today. :) ~ Christina
