Hello all or anyone who comes across this journal :)

I worked on my pottery mug today which I had neglected for a bit over New Years etc...

It was all ready for painting so I started today. I'm just going to have it black and white, as my clay is white not red. So it is neither 'black-figure' or 'red-figure' really. Well it is black figure but won't look like a real Greek vase.
But that's ok because the idea is just to have the art inspired by it, not a replica :)
It is also functional as a drinking mug (if all goes to plan and it doesn't crack or anything!)

Here is an image of Artemis slaying Actaeon. I based my Artemis on her pose as you can see :)

My version is slightly different, more simplified - painting is really hard! especially on a curved surface... I'm not well practised at this at all..!
