Sometimes when I'm between projects, I try to come up with new ideas for our pottery. A couple weeks ago, you saw the evolution of our large bowls through the years. It seemed like such a big jump when I started hand-painting our bowls with so many different colors! From there, I started hand-painting everything! But only this past week did it occur to me to hand-paint our mugs. The picture above shows the first ever Jean Elton painted mugs and I am so excited about them that I will probably keep them in my kitchen for myself. But even if someone didn't want a whole set, wouldn't just one be a fun gift?
