I’m setting a table for one today
I have some new plates that wanted to come out and play
I recently caved during an MKC sale
Next thing I knew
Taylor Kings Corners plates came in the mail
Hmmm I thought, what do I have to go with these?
My MKC Beachy Birdhouses and an MKC cake stand will work with ease!
And then wishing I had a pretty Kings Corner glass
I will just paint one, I thought, and make this setting first class!
I first drew the pattern on paper with markers
note: It’s always good to make a practice drawing or painting to get the feel of your design before you start painting on glass. When painting on glass it’s important to make confident quick strokes
Be sure to use paint that is made for painting on glass, it is curable, which means you can bake your glassware in the oven so it becomes washable and dishwasher safe.
I like this FolkArt paint here
The charm of hand painted things is that they aren’t perfect
That is what makes them special,
and why I love MacKenzie-Childs pieces,
Each ceramic piece is made by hand and painted by their artists
I started with the purple/blue and painted a stripe on the base
with a small flat square brush
Then while I had this color mixed
I painted the dots on the upper part of the glass
Next I painted the crossing leaves pattern around the lower part of the glass
Then came the darker green stems and leaves
The flowers are just rings of dots
I painted a pink stripe and aqua squares around the base
To finish, I painted the soft orange lines around the flowers
and on the base, mimicking the pattern in the center of the plates
Thanks for playing with dishes and paint today,
my two favorite things I just have to say!
