New Etsy Listing- Genie Bottle
I posted a new listing on Etsy today for one of my ceramic vessels handthrown and handpainted by yours truly. I didn’t much care for turnout of the glazing because one glaze was shiny and the other matte and, while it normally looks great in combination, didn’t work well on this shape.
To correct this I ended up lightly sanding the vessel and then using a high quality acrylic to cover the original glazing.I think this bright green is a much better fit for the whimsical nature of the genie bottle!
I then handdrew my Meraki design on to it with permanent marker. I allowed to form of the vessel to dictate my direction in the pattern and I am happy with the results.
As I have said before, Meraki (may-rah-kee) is a Greek word that means doing something with soul, creativity, or love. It’s when you put something of yourself into what you’re doing. I think everyone knows that I LOVE WHAT I DO!
Please go to my Etsy Shop and look at my items for sale! The sale for this item can be found here!
