After getting all the rest of the stuff together yesterday afternoon, I started working on putting the designs I made on to the cups and saucers. Now I'm just waiting for them to dry before doing the last bits, and once thats dry they can be glued together to make the bird feeders.
I wanted to try both black and gold. I thought that the gold would have a more traditional feel to it; however, it hasn't worked as well as I hoped. The paint is really thin, so it takes two coats to get it to show up right, which means I have to use thicker lines. the lines are already thicker than I wanted because apparently the smallest paint brush I could find wasn't small enough.
Although, even though the gold doesn't work, I think the black works really well! I'm really pleased with how these ones have turned out.
