Hey everyone - I had great fun creating these, and I recommend you give it a go - especially since we're mostly all inside in quarantine! They would make a great gift! Don't forget to tag me with your creations, I'd love to see them.
I gotta say it... SPLENDID GOLD! I love that you used the gold as a drybrush on the branch-leaf one. And the Fleur De Lis charm is such a cute addition too!
Lol, that gold paint is so beautiful.. and very aptly named SPLENDID GOLD. The fleur de lis charm was the whole inspiration for that design, and after I'd done it I really wished I'd added some charms to the tree one too! Next time!
I’ve never seen this done but you made a great job and they look like proper ‘ancient’ goblets. I love the Fleur de Lis motif! Very Great Hall and quaffing vibes.
It was fine for me. It's quite a low temp. If you're a bit worried about it I'd say try putting a wine glass in the oven before you put the design on it so if it breaks you don't lose all your hard work.
And for future reference, according to some googling, using some 99% isopropyl alcohol on a brush should help get rid of fingerprints :) You could also go in with sandpaper after baking before painting, but with how intricate these designs are that probably wouldn't work as well.
Hello, I am a librarian and I'm considering creating ;this as a craft kit for our teens that can not come to the library due to covid. How much of that brick of clay did you use to make your goblet?
