These are the needles that I painted for my swappee for the Red Sox Swap I'm in. The needle tops are rounded and small, so I couldn't trace the icon on, but I'm pretty happy with the way they came out freehand. It makes me appreciate the detailing that
went into the flowers painted on the needles I have from Peace Fleece.

Despite buying an itty bitty paintbrush for the job, it still took immense concentration to not shake my hand or make any sudden movements.
As I am prone to sudden, erratic movements, this was no small task, and I'm pretty sure I drive my pottery teacher nuts.

Speaking of which, that bowl is the first thing I made on the wheel worth firing. I love it despite its asymmetry. And I did glaze it like that on purpose :)
This is my progress on the Endpaper Mitts.


It appears that I was flaked on for the Cocoa Swap, so that's kind of disappointing, though even if I got a package in the next week or so it would still be cocoa weather.

shame on your cocoa no show (I do like a good rhyme however unintentional!)but your pottery and mitts look fab!
The pottery looks great!
BTW, I tagged you. Please check my blog for info. :)
Awesome painting job! I've been looking at handpainted needles, that's a neat idea for the swap! Pretty color choice on the mitts!
Thanks for posting my contest!
Love the pot. My best friend just bought a pottery wheel and promises to teach me!
