Very Bunny

Rabbit earrings are hopping out of my shop faster than any other item, not hard to see why! I love Rabbits as an animal, as a motif and everything else.You can see rabbits scattered through my Pinterest boards. I could probably do a rabbit feature every week for a year with the number of items if collected, pinned and fav'edon Etsy. But for now look at these lovely items;


1: Little rabbit plush. The Black Apple.
2: Rabbit Socks, H&M
3: Rabbit Playsuit: Primark. (It’s sooo cute!)
4: Rabbit Paper Dolls by Wool And Water
5: Rabbit Wallpaper - Muraspec
6: Tea For two.
7: Beautifuly decorated Plate, havn’t found the source yet!

Put on a Happy Face

One thing I could do with my blank ceramics is turn them into little characters! The egg cups especially look like the head neck and shoulders of a person. Here is a collection of porcelain I've had my eye on for a while. Just adding a few lines and dots to a mug can turn it into a little person. So cute!


1: Mr & Mrs Face Coffee Cups.
2: Collection of Hand drawn plates
3: Hand drawn pot with Face
4: Heart cheek cup & saucers
5: Cold to Hot Face Mugs
6: My own photo of Japanese orange drink, so happy!
7: Three layers pot
6: Girl bathing in cup and saucer

Ceramic Painting at Home!

I've started a new project. For a while now I've been gathering the items for painting my own pottery. It's a great way to jazz up some old mugs or make a unique set of items for your shelves (great for gifts!) I love home accessories that are pretty and quirky and I've been wanting to put my own designs onto ceramics for a long time! This is the cheap and domestic way of doing it.

I've got some plain white egg cups, tea pots and mugs to start practicing with, but when I get more confident I'll buy some fancy cups and saucer to decorate. Charity shops are a good place to buy cheap cups and things to start decorating, as well as supper markets for the plain white items, or even craft shops.

The pens I'm using to decorate with are 'Marabu Porcelain Painter' pens, in a small range of bright colours. They're ideal for me because you can let them air dry over a few days (no baking or kilning!) and then they're ready to use and dishwasher safe.

Now what to put on them...
