Girls Day Out
Part 2
Wednesday, July 29
More photos from “Girls Day Out” on Wednesday
After looking at the rest of the photos, I realized that I do not have the finished product of many of the girl’s items, so the real “final photo” of each pottery piece will happen in another week or so, after they are glazed and fired.
I went to the restaurant next door and brought chicken wraps, french fries, onion rings, and Coke to the snack room, so each person could eat lunch at a time that fit into their painting schedule.
I painted a real leaf, then pressed it onto my small oval plate. In this photo I am touching it up a bit.
Can you tell that I am a person who believes in simplicity?
Chris tracing a pattern she brought along – one of her Grandma Wells’ designs. Her grandma was a gifted artist.
Jenna, Kristen, and Gloria working on their pieces.
Kristen writing on the back of her plate.
She designed the front with a similar design.
Deb painting her large bowl
I’m finished!
An assistant at Jen’s Pottery Den helped Abigail use a stencil.
She chose a pretty leaf and butterfly design.
Jenna chose yellow for the top of her plate…
…an a rose color for the bottom.
Contemplating what to do next
You will have to wait to see what she did, because I did not get a final photo of the top…
…but I did get this picture of the back.
Lydia begins to paint a horse
Almost finished
Again, you will have to wait until it is glazed and fired to see the finished photo.
Diana begins the back of her bowl
She was one of several who chose a rotating pedestal or platter when painting a base color.
Sponging circles on the inside
Jana painted a cute scenery design on her plate…
…then added words.
“Nature is one reason to thank God.” I like that!
Gloria puts the final (third) coat of brown on her horse.
Adding spots
Almost finished

We agreed that we want to do this again some day – maybe start a new, yearly event. Most of the granddaughters want to go more often than that.
