We've Got Pot(tery)

Way back when in the good 'ol days of grad school, my friend Holly and I went to a Paint Your Own Pottery studio.  We had a BLAST!  I painted a pitcher that's dark blue with yellow stars all over.  I would take a picture and show you, but I believe it's in storage right now.  While I lived in Indy, I took some foster kids to do it, too, but I never did my own piece because kids generally take 2.6 seconds to finish theirs and I wouldn't have time to do mine. 

Fast forward two years and I finally got Matt to take me.  We tried once in Charlottesville, but it was ridiculously expensive and I didn't want to pay that much.  I received a Groupon the other day for this so I thought that it was as good as a time as any.  It took us about 20 minutes on a project to complete - there were dishes, pots, vases, dog bowls, figurines, etc.  The problem with doing a piece together is that you have to agree on what to paint.  We eventually decided we wanted to do something seasonal and found a dish that had leaves circling it.  We chose to do it in fall colors and this is how the finished project turned out!...
