The Octopode FactoryI had my eye on this pen pot for sometime but didn't know what design I wanted to do on it. I decided to go rummaging through my stamps and came upon my Octopode stamps which were the perfect size for the pot.
To give you an idea of how I created this fab pot have a look at the pics below.I started by stamping each image onto the bisque using black Stroke and Coat glaze.I filled in any gaps with a brush (as the pot is curved sometimes stamps won't print out in full which is not a stamp error but a user error!) Digi images can be used by transferring with clay carbon paper.
With Stroke and Coat three layers of glaze are required to get a good solid coverage.
I love AliceI didn't want to use red all over the dress here so used pink and red, at this stage you never know exactly what the final colours will look like together.
I spent close to six hours on this pot, I had a fabulous chilled day painting and I cannot wait until I can do another!
