Happy Mother's Day! - Painted Porcelain

I love recycling, reusing and redesigning any object and turn it into DIY gifts that are handmade with a Bohemian look. I am sure all of you have sets of plain porcelain mugs, saucer, pitchers, egg holders, plates, etc., just waiting to be doodled on and transformed into a work of art! In this project I will explain how to use porcelain pens. I love doodling and these porcelain pens give me much more control than paints. No pattern included for this project - create your own free-hand geometric and organic patterns.
