Well Q's mom has been here all week and if you know anything about Havelock, NC, there isn't much to do here for a whole week. We made the best of it though. There is this cute little place in downtown New Bern called Accidental Artist that I knew we MUST try. I know many people that go here and now I see why. You go and pay a studio fee which covers all your paints, brushes, etc and then you buy your pottery that you want to paint. As you can see they have tons of pottery!
We loved this place so much that I believe we went back 3 days in a row. This was just screaming our names. The best thing about it is that you just go and it is sort of relaxing. I wasn't so relaxed on the first day of going because I am way to OCD about projects that it was difficult to just let it go and paint. But I finally succeeded on day two.
The first project were these squares. They are about the easiest thing you can do and you can put whatever you want on them. I went with a template of waves and a circle for the middle. These waves were going to be the death of me at first.
Of course, Joni was very relaxed about hers and just went with the flow. I just couldn't do it!
I think it turned out better than I thought which is very nice. I have a vision for a guest room of navy, coral, and gray so I tried to keep those colors in mind.
So here is the finished product. Pretty good if I say so myself! I am happy with it. Now we just have to wait for our other projects to be fired to see how they turn out. But definitely if you visit New Bern, NC, go here. You can take a bottle of wine and just paint and the staff is super helpful and will pretty much tell you how to do every design you could think of.
