Happy Tea Tuesday!
Here is one of my latest cup and saucers.....



Sorry I havn't been around in awhile!
I took an unplanned "blog vacation"!  Thank you to those who wrote and checked on me!
I've been distracted by several other things. One of those things is, I decided I need to lose some weight. I realized that this required a lifestyle change for the better. So, I joined Weight Watchers online and planning our meals a weeks worth at a time. My husband and daughter are supporting me in this endeavor. My husband bought me a bike and we have been going bike riding as often as we can. 
So far I've lost my first 15 lbs!


Another thing that has been distracting me from china painting is Face Painting! Click here to go to my Facebook Face Painting page! This time of year I get several calls for face painting jobs.

My daughter Leah


 My nephew Seth

My Neice Ali

And a few pictures of my recent jobs.....


I LOVE painting on bald heads!   HAHAHA!



The Halloween season will be coming to a close soon and now its time to once again turn my focus on my favorite medium, porcelain!

Thank you to our Tea Party Hostesses

    Welcome back dear Amy! You have been missed! I adore your teacup as they are my favourite colour combination next to green and pink! What fun you must have painting faces and you're so good at it too. Congratulations on your weight loss; I wish you the very best! Thanks for joining me once again for tea. Have a lovely week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Your tea cup is gorgeous. My mother in law is a china painter. I wrote a post about some of her pieces last week on my blog -

    Hi Amy,
    your tea cup is really gorgeous. This is so dainty painted and has so nice colors. I love it. I wish you luck and endurance on your way to loose weight. I try that since several months but not really successfull. But would be very healthy. Your paintings are great, you are very talented. Thank you for showing us this.
    Greetings, Johanna

    Amy your teacup is just beautiful! It's looks so vintage, just became a fan of yours on facebook!

    I love the "head painting" on those balds heads, you sure could make a mark in this world given all the "bald" men floating around today!

    Thanks for sharing, enjoyed visiting your blog.

    Your paintings are so gorgeous. I can't paint, but can imagine how hard it must be to paint on a face.
