Introducing New Hand-Painted Porcelain Bowls

December 08, 2013

I've mentioned here before that for about a year now I have been hand-painting porcelain pieces. It's something I've truly enjoyed doing, and I am so happy to share that I'm finally selling some pieces here in the online shop.

 Previously, I've only sold my hand-painted porcelain items at craft shows or by custom order. I decided to share the pieces with a wider audience here after receiving such positive feedback about them during the various holiday shows I've participated in over the past month and a half.

The first item for sale is are small 3.5 inch gold dotted bowls. These little bowls were very popular at shows - all of them sold out within a few hours - so I've been busily painting more. They feature little gold dots all over - both inside and outside the bowl. I have a few in stock now and will be adding more soon. They are the perfect size for trinkets, nuts, or other little items. I use one by my bed to hold my rings at night and one on my desk to hold paper clips. They are food safe and dishwasher safe, too (although I recommend washing by hand). Here's a shot of me painting a bowl. 

Find them in the shop here!

Porcelain Projects: Custom Hand-Painted Dish Featuring Wedding Date

April 10, 2013

My dear friend Sara married Phil back in January (you may remember when I blogged about their wedding stationery) and as a special wedding present, I gave them a hand-painted porcelain plate featuring their wedding date. I used a turquoisey-blue paint and based the design off of my busy blues floral pattern. I love how it turned out!

Have a special project in mind? I love doing custom porcelain pieces!

Porcelain Projects: 2 Hand-Painted Plates

February 12, 2013

For the past five months or so, I've been experimenting with hand-painting porcelain dishes. I was inspired to translate my card designs to different mediums and have really enjoyed this type of painting. While it can be slightly tedious and requires a lot of focus, it's worth it when I see the end product! Here's two different plates I've done (apologies for the iPhone photos!). I'll be sharing more porcelain projects soon on the blog.
