Color my clay

It was the last day of clay class and this was the best part...

Painting the clay that were already rock hard solid from the kiln :)...and taking them all home.

* All ready for painting...

* Excited to start painting...

* Love the hat... Thanks Nana!

* Start with the Christmas primaries... Red, Green and White

* Brushes for the project :)

Kimi did the cane first. She was good coloring this particular project because it doesn't have that many small details so there was very little room for mistakes.

After the painting, we need to dry them up for the sealing paint to make the clay shiny

* Kimi looks so cute in her Tshirt/ apron provided by Shadbolt

Kimi painted this little plate with a big brush. She painted the yellow inner part and the blue outer part. The little decor at the edge of the plate was made with the use of a garlic presser.... Genius eh?

* Little Spaghetti plate

* Christmas Cane

* First batch to be painted

Unfortunately, Kimi accidentally broke a part of the Christmas tree. I guess the teacher was expecting these kind of things so he got a handy solution. Glue gun.

* Handy teacher at work

We had a few minutes left for the Christmas tree so....

* Christmas tree quick paint :(

Of course, we had to take a photo of the talented teacher of the class :)

We really enjoyed this class together. It was our bonding moment for us girls ;)
