HAND-PAINTED CROCKERY

Decorated with simple botanical designs, an interesting collection of mismatched plates can create a beautiful display on a shelf, dresser or hung on the wall. Create a design freehand lightly in pencil first or use natural leaves, stems and greenery as templates to draw around neatly. Paint over the image using ceramic, enamel or glass paints and pens (available from hobbycraft.co.uk) for lasting results.
