Anthrocon Coming SOON!

[enjis]

I just started working on some china pieces for my art show table at Anthrocon....next week!!!!!
I have no new flat art yet, but I'll work on that tomorrow.  China pieces are now at my teacher's house, ready to be fired.  If I can work super-fast, I can get three fires in before we leave. (my china stuff sells better than my flat art anyways)

You... are evil. ;-)

That officially makes two pieces I'm going to bid on at the show. Hope my stuff sells! :-)

Yep. Solidified evil, that's me. I always think of you when doing a new griffin mug. "what colors does Tyrrlin already have?" I ask myself.....
And yes, good luck on your work too!

[tyrrlin]

Awrr...

As for the mugs I already have: Anthro (with a staff/banner), Brown, Grey snow leopard, Brown with teal, and brown with yellow/red (the one was was SOOO close to my colors I just HAD to have it!) :-)

I don't have green, yellow, red, purple, black... *grins*

I've got a new anthro male griffin in the works, just waiting for colors.....

Seeing your mugs in person at the WTF artshow, I gotta ask...How do you make them? =D

[enjis]

Step one: Buy white porcelain mug.
Step two: Use non-firing red marker to draw unique design on mug.
Step three: Oil down some black china paints to ink-like consistancy. Use crow quill pen to draw black lines.
Step four: Fire in kiln.
Step five: Paint in base colors, shade as much as possible (paints don't dry, and will come off if you touch them with the brush more than once.)
Step six: fire again.
Step seven: Paint second layer of colors, add details.
Step eight: fire one more time.

Fireing takes a day, so there is a waiting period between each step....
