As You Wish

So I've recently found a new hobby, maybe an addiction...same difference, right? I've kinda known about this place for a while but only recently decided to try it out. As You Wish is a "pottery painting place" where you may pick a piece of pre-designed pottery (anything from a bowl to a photo frame to a piggy bank to a dip dish to anything else on the shelf) and you get to paint it yourself any way you like. Then the nice people of As You Wish will glaze and fire the piece for you in a kiln. And just a few short days later, you get to take it home to keep.
I've gone 3 times in the last month simply 'cause I can't keep away!! It's so fun and inspiring, and even my family is getting involved. The first time I went, I was with my nieces and sister, the 2nd time I enjoyed painting with my husband, who surrisingly enjoyed himself quite a bit. ha ha
Here are my first two pieces that I've done, both I had made into magnets:

I haven't finished my third piece yet so be sure to check back soon to see what else I've been working on. Be sure to check out their site and, if your in The Valley of the Sun, be sure to check out one of their locations for yourself. You'll be glad ya did.
