Ducks and Dishes

Here are the Summer ducklings at my in-laws' farm. Aren't they ADORABLE?!
They came as quite a surprise because the mother has never successfully hatched any before.
They are mule-ducks (Pekin/Muscovy), so they are sterile -but so darn cute!



While living here my work space is very limited. I long for my watercolors and oils, but everything is in storage for now so I needed to pick something up to quench my artistic thirst...


Ta-da! Ceramic painting!



... As if I need another hobby.
But I am thankful for the time that it consumes. I'm wondering if I might have the time to do a hand painted tile table-top. 


Something like this...
but with different legs and hand painted tiles in the center.
Too bad I have other priorities right now.

  1. The tile table idea is a good one. I like the top of the one pictured, but I agree that the legs aren't the best. I have seen some done on wrought iron with tile tops which I loved :)

    1. I am trying to figure out a better way to cure them, but I think that I would definitely like to sell them in the future.
      The ceramic paint that I bought isn't holding up to dish detergent very well. It is even supposed to be dishwasher safe.
