The big reveal

Painting with decorative china glazes requires a lot of imagination. The colors you put on your sculpture have very little to do with the colors that come out of the kiln. After finishing our turtles, we could not wait to see them fired.

Happily, Karen didn't make us wait long. Less than twenty four hours after the party, she sent us this reveal video.

This is the finished line-up with each painter's initials. Aren't they amazing?

Another view.

Just for fun, here's a before and after of Vicky's turtle. You can really see the effect of those chunky bits!

Finally, here are our bonus pumpkins and acorns.

Thank you again, Karen. This was such a fun day. I can't wait to see my turtle in person, and to see everyone's turtles on the table at CandyLand Live!
