Trying something new...

I've read about it and I have seen a video showing this great new product from Mayco... Designer Liner! So I gave it a try... And Voila! 


I honestly didn't think the liner was going to show through my glazes.   I drew the flower with a pencil, then went over it with the liner. (Didn't go to crazy with the drawing as you can see, since I wasn't too sure!)  Also want to mention that it does take practice drawing with the liner. Then I painted the glazes in and black washed the corners that had texture.  Waited for everything to dry and applied clear glaze over the unglazed  areas.  I was definitely pleasantly surprised because this is what it looked like before....


Something fun to do...might start using my drawing skills a little more in the future!   Although...it will be awhile, since the summers are spent here a little more often !  :)
