Artist for a Day

I have one more "On My Mind" post to write, but I thought I'd lighten things up for today...

A week and a half ago, my boss took my colleagues and I to Artist for a Day, the "paint-it-yourself pottery experience" in North Olmsted. We got our projects back today!

It was so hard to pick from the hundreds of options available to paint. They have everything from dishes to serving ware to mugs to characters to animals to holiday decorations...I could go on. Even though it was hard to choose, painting the pieces was fun and easy. Here's what I painted:

A sleeping cat

A little heart-shaped box for my mom

A moon-shaped dish for my nightstand

I'm not crazy about the sponging technique I tried on the moon-shaped dish, but it was fun to experiment.

A trip to Artist for a Day would make a great afternoon for a group of girlfriends or moms and daughters. I'd love to go back and paint some holiday decorations and other gifts.
