This is my first artsy thing. My new SIL had requested some pottery painted by me so I decided to do a pasta bowl. The only thing I'm not happy with is how the walls blend in with the stairs. Other than that, I think I surprised myself.

I started working on a candle holder for the wall. I really like it because I'm fond of moons and stars and such. So, I was wiping it off with a damp cloth and was suprised to find a perfect heart in the pottery. I was smart enough to take some pics of it. This was on Tuesday which was my mom and dad's anniversary. It was her second one without him. I told her it was him saying hi to her. I couldn't just paint over it so I painted it red. Isn't this odd? I wonder how it got there? It wasn't visible in the pottery before it got damp, yet even after it dried, I could still see it. My mom said the spot below it looked like a tear.

Val I have always told you I envy your ability to be so creative!!!!! That bowl is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!! I love the piece with the heart in it, maybe in fact it was your dad leaving a mark for you and especially for your mom to let you know he is ok and he loves you both. It is a nice thought anyway.

Wow! That bowl is beautiful.. I think those stairs are fine in the painting, they don't take away from the rest of it..... I LOVE the colors!

Yup! You Dad was sending your Mom his love.. Or maybe he was sending it to YOU?

WOW!! Your painting on that bowl is gorgeous! I'll have to remind myself to email you when I decide to change my pattern for my stoneware!

That heart in the pottery is so cool... makes you wonder about fate and things like that.
