What a fun day we had at Queen Barbara's house! We congregated there for our day of finding our inner artist and our hidden creative talent as we painted the pottery pieces that we had picked out previously. Even those of us who were feeling intimidated (me at least) finally relaxed and got into gear and had a blast painting our little projects.
Pictures tell the story better than words, so here goes . . .

Carol N, Leslie, Debbie & Dixie ready to start creating
Brenda and Queen Barbara are waiting to give instructions |
 |
| Joy, Seema, Linda, Tina, Sharon, Chris & Barbara are ready too |
 |
| Brenda described the various paints and techniques that we could use |
Let the painting and the creativity begin . . .
 |
| Sharon wasted no time - she knew exactly what she wanted to do |
 |
| Carol N. jumped into action pretty quickly also |
 |
| Here's Linda with her cute little dog |
 |
| Tina with her vase, and Sharon with her mug |
 |
| Debbie and Dixie are hard at work |
 |
| Chris and her cute little tortoise planter |
 |
| Queen B-Lo got very creative with her plate |
 |
| As did Seema with hers |
 |
| And Leslie put us all to shame with her artistry |
 |
| Here's Joy's tortoise planter part way done |
 |
Carol N, Leslie, Debbie & Dixie
all making great progress |
 |
Seema, Linda, Tina, Sharon and Chris
with their projects coming along just fine |
The time really flew by as we were all concentrating on our masterpieces.
 |
| Sharon was the first one done! |
Little by little we finished our projects . . .
 |
| Here's some of them drying in the sun |
 |
Chris and Joy were the last ones to finish -
here's Chris's little guy almost done |
 |
| And here's Joy's |
Brenda packed up our projects so she could take them home to glaze and fire them, and we sneaked in this group photo before she packed up the final two . . .

Sitting - Chris & Seema
Standing - Carol N, Barbara, Dixie, Debbie, Leslie, Joy
(Sharon, Tina and Linda had to leave before we remembered to take a group pic - sorry!) |
Brenda told us everything would look really different after the pieces are fired, so we can't wait to see how they turn out!
After everything was cleaned up and put away, it was time for lunch . . .
