My Handpainted Teacup

by

art

When I painted a bird on porcelain title, I got inspiration. I wanted to paint something from nature that looked like mix of both Japanese and Western styles. I decided to paint some clovers and their flowers.

Painting inside is always very difficult.

I designed four-leave clovers in a Japanese traditional pattern. I had no ideas if this design would work, but I kept painting.

I added a tiny ladybug on one of the leaves.

The flower parts are painted with enamel, so they look 3-D.

I also added more details to each diamond shape.

Trying new things is always fun, and I truly enjoyed painting this piece.
