We went painting at Pottery Place for the third time

@flowerbaby and I both love being creative. One of the best local businesses to satisfy our urge to create is Pottery Place. We know from our past experiences that we like how this place works. You walk in and pick out a plain piece of bisqueware, and there are always so many options to choose from. After you have chosen your piece, it is then time to select different glaze types to create the perfect color palette. Then begins the extensive process of painting layer by layer.
During our first visit to Pottery Place together, @flowerbaby painted a moon fairy and I painted an ice vampire. You can look back at those results here.
Our second visit resulted in @flowerbaby’s fairy mushroom love house and my spotted Easter rattlesnake, which can be viewed here.
During our third and latest visit, @flowerbaby went with a sugar skull and I decided upon a little army man with his assault rifle.
As you can see, I for some reason always go with similar colors. Blue is pretty much guaranteed to be my main color. @flowerbaby is much more unpredictable with her choice of palette. This time she picked a very colorful assortment of hues.
We spent a little over an hour painting our bisqueware. It is a process that requires much patience and precision for good accuracy. I wanted my soldier to turn out awesome. I knew @flowerbaby’s skull would look amazing. She is much better with crafts like this than I am.
While we were there, there were two little girls with their mothers. Their mommas were busy talking after their group had finished painting. The two girls were running around playing right next to our table. They were pretty hilarious, we overheard the girls talking to each other and they were afraid of us. I think it was mainly because @flowerbaby had earrings in that looked like real eyeballs. I believe the fact that we both have a lot of tattoos may have been shocking to the girls as well.
After we finished painting, we paid for our pottery and left the glazed bisqueware to be fired on the kiln. It took one week for the final process to be completed. After much anticipation, it was finally time to visit Pottery Place again and pick up our finished artwork.
I was absolutely thrilled with how both pieces turned out. I’m partial to @flowerbaby’s magnificent use of such a wide array of colors. I must admit though, my army man is pretty badass too. As much time as I spend playing shooter video games, I think this may be my most relevant piece of pottery yet. Until next time that is...

Now this is strange, as I like the soldier guy and Marian. my wife likes the painted skull.
It seems that us men are plain and the females are multicolored hahaha.
I’d say that generally is true. I do however love a variety of colors, but when it comes to creating thing myself… I always go for the same palette of blue/green/black/white. It’s my thing 🌊
Nothing wrong with your thing mate and I also like plain colors.
Both are cool, I love the blue soldier. I barely noticed the eyeball earings of flowerbaby as I was admiring her beautiful tattoos.
Thanks very much. We both worked hard on these. She got those earrings at a local craft show a few weeks back.
She does have many awesome tattoos.
She actually just got a new one last week.
Ooooo niice! Did it hurt a lot? That area is quite sensitive
She said it was pretty terrible. Close to one 5 hour session to finish it. I can relate because my belly tattoo was my worst for certain. Although it took me 12 hours (multiple sessions) to complete my legendary bird trio several years back.
Oooo so so cool! Oh gosh this must have hurt a lot!The colors are still super vibrant, I like it. The tattoo artist had a lot of patience to do this! I like the snowflakes too. Getting a tattoo is not easy, I have read about the prices and also about the amount of work involved. Color work is tough. Do you have any black and grey too?
Colors are my favorite. I have such a wide variety. A bit of my background on my first sleeve is black and grey, but pretty much everything else is all color.
The pain is worse than the money. Money comes and goes, but I’ll never forget the feeling of the needle stuck into my skin like leeches.
Ay ay ay...I saw an ad for tattoo numbing cream. It is supposed to make the pain go away..i wonder if it works
It does work actually. Too bad I didn’t learn about it until after 90+ hours of tattoos.
There is a type of cream that you put on after you’ve already been tattooed some, usually after the outline. There has to be open wounds for it to work. Can work for a couple hours, but it does wear off eventually.
ULTRANUMB lidocaine 6% 10g

There is another type that is similar, you put it on before the tattoo and cover it with Saran Wrap and wait for awhile. Then once you get to the shop remove it and it should work for a few hours.
GREENCAINE BLAST lidocaine 4% gel 4 Oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I080RUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ANFJ5302P8NT3V7QVY6S
For extremely long sessions this can help a lot of people. You really don’t feel a thing besides vibrations. Some look at it as cheating, but it’s totally your choice of course. Some people want to go through the pain and some do not.
Ah yes cheating. I also watched some videos with people saying that the pain is an important part of the tatttoing process. I guess it depends on the person
