Food Bowl

8 Days To Go

Everything pet related in the local stores is always very pricey so when a friend was kind enough to offer to buy me a few things and post them up? How could I refuse! In the package was everything I expected and a gorgeous little surprise for me - a small ceramic food bowl with a hand painted picture of Nephelie (one of my many mice).

Quite frankly, art has never been my forte. A steady hand is just not something I was gifted with but I figured "Hey, one less thing on my yet-to-be-made bucket list."

Quick Note : Unless this is something you plan on doing a lot, the price of the paint and brushes is not really worth it. For me, this is more of a 'one time thing' and I didn't even make a dent in the paint pot!Ceramic bowl from Harrison and Lane. 
The size of this bowl is just perfect, it fits about 1 cup of pellets which when accompanied by unlimited grass, hay and nightly fruit/veges seems to last a day or two before it needs to be re-filled.

I found myself giving it all a second coat just to make the lines more 'defined'. While it does not need to be baked to set the paint, it does required 3 days to try for the same effect.
