Rhi, thanks for asking me to paint you a dotty serving plate, thus motivating me to finally get my butt back in a studio. It’s so good to be painting again. The plate’s in my etsy shop waiting for you. I look forward to delivering it!

I love the cake too, but that’s not what I’m selling I sold (Thanks, Jennie!) in my Etsy shop.

If you like this plate, feel free to ask me to make another one, or a bowl or mug or whatever, in the colors of your choice. I love custom orders and am always happy to have an excuse to paint.

Literally! I painted the dots all over this mug and bowl with my fingertips. It’s a fun way to paint.

They’re both The mug is available in my Etsy shop. (The bowl sold. Thanks, Sara!)

This one is not in my shop. It’s my new favorite mug.

I used to have a similar one that I bought at a thrift store in Omaha for 50 cents. I kept it at my parents’ house and used it for drinking coffee and tea when I was there. On our last visit I noticed it had developed a big crack, and then it broke right in half. The next time I was painting I thought, “Hey, I can recreate it!” So I did.
