This set is individually hand painted and I went with the colours that Maisie wanted (Via her godmother to be...) Each piece has been personalised with her name somewhere on the line, we have a selection of bunting, nappies, bibs and grows, and of course socks....The washing line is very thickly applied colour and it has a real texture under the glaze. Whilst these pieces were intended to be used, I believe they went into the nursery....I am happy to add a message on the back of the plate for you, for example, the date, love from or your wishes and hopes for the child. Orders will take around 14 days to complete , I may be able to do things faster if I have a gap and I am about to set a firing off...please advise me of the deadline date!

These are hand rolled ceramic hearts, cut and then shaped again to make make the heart organic and feely. Rich red undercoat and heavy white dots on the surface which can be clearly felt under the glaze. I leave the backs of these hearts clear of glaze to enable you to write the message in pencil, biro or permanent marker. Because the clay is still porous at earthenware temperature it is ideal to absorb essential oils for slow diffusing... These hearts are 9cm long by 7cm wide and are finished with a red satin ribbon and a little label. The heart will come wrapped in tissue and packaged in recycled materials, first class post. heatherrichards Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:14:21 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2855982 http://folksy.com/items/2855982 posh gift tag 'totally dotty red heart' Finish off your present with a lovely posh gift tag!

These are hand made and cut, smoothed and buffed! painted with mini bunting motif and hung with jute string for you to use as gift tags or decorations.

We use this size for 'fizzy pink' but my children need a hand to pour as life is too short for too many spillages of this magnitude! I have painted this jug with 'endless summer bunting, i love these colours and the waftiness of the fabric, the bunting winds round the top of the jug and is fastened to the rim, the ties hang inside. I use the handle to tie the bunting on too. I paint a heart on the handle and the jug is backstamped with makers mark and entitled endless summer.

We decided upon the design and since other people have liked it I am posting it on my shop. The painting is very textured and the roses can be clearly felt under the glaze. on the reverse side - the outside of the bowl I have painted pink feet in raised colour...these were very touchy feely and rather nice. The little love from... is on the base, but of course this could be put anywhere. If you would like one like this please allow at least 14 days for me to paint and fire it, I can process things quite quickly as I do fire quite frequently but like to have a full kiln so the sake of cost and environmental impact!

I have priced this for the pair.....I quite liked the way that the chickens faced each other as the mugs faced each other, nice to see the dialogue!!

I then used the wedding invitations and thank you's, which were designed by the bride, to put the detail on the front. This design flows over the rim of the dish and fills a few gaps on the back! I added the little red hearts detail. The design is up to you, you can go round in a spiral, just allow the guests freedom to sign where ever draw little images - What ever works for the occasion.... The dish gets returned to me and I carefully overpaint all the marks made -( unless any are specifically not wanted!) The only issue with this as gift for the day is that it does need someone to orchestrate it...I created one for my sister in law and her husband and I had the most wonderful wedding. i talked to everyone who was there, it was fantastic!!! I did a huge dish, we had cartoons from children, lovely messages and poems.....because the dish is unglazed bisque you have to be very careful not to allow people with dirty or greasy hands to put their mucky paw prints on it. Glaze does not like grease! Send the dish back to me and I will go over all the writing and put your design on the front and send it back to you - or the bride and groom within 14 days. In this costing I am assuming 4 hours production time, if it is any less once I receive your piece back i will adjust you and reimburse any costs. heatherrichards Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:06:08 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2983294 http://folksy.com/items/2983294 wedding autograph dish, bespoke design This is a funny little mug!

If you would like one of these sets they are as follows: baby mug: 7cm high by 7cm wide bowl: 14cm across by 7cm high plate: 20cm across I paint using foodsafe underglaze colour and lead free glaze. My painting leaves brush strokes and texture which you can feel under the glaze...so much nicer than a transfer!! I fire in my studio in the heart of wonderful Norfolk. This is high earthenware temperature ceramic and can go in the dishwasher, but not recommended for microwave. I can put your love from message on the back or the front, if it is a long message or will take me a while to space it out nicely please mail me first to allow me to advise you on time and cost. I am quite a swift worker but my price is determined by the product cost and time it takes to produce...arrrgh....You will need to allow 10 - 14 days for me to process your set. I fire regularly and will always get it to you on time but I need to fit it in with my pirating capers around South Norfolk... Sent via Pirate Jack Sparrow in his red ship with Gold crest.

Each marker is approximately 11.5 cm and can be written on in pencil we tested these out over the winter in our garden, we wrote on in pencil and left them exposed to all sorts of weather conditions. They are frost proof and have retained their marking. We also experimented with indelible marker (Sharpie or equivalent) that gave some lovely coloured lettering contrasting with the very delicate look of the porcelain. I package using recycled materials lovingly collected by my wonderful parents and send using first class recorded delivery. let me know which set you would like. I am drying the next wave which are slightly longer and some more hanging tags with lovely impressed floral tops. heatherrichards Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:53:40 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3224822 http://folksy.com/items/3224822 porcelain plant markers This listing is for one baby washing line mug These are the cute little mugs 6.5 cm high and painted individually with a washing line of ....whatever is appropriate...!! little girls tend to have cute little t shirts.....flowery cloths and their names on an item on the line...boys can have whatever - t shirts with stars on, stipey socks, I still pretend that we all do washable nappies - it is such an iconic image!
