Dot-Painted China

I found this idea on Martha Stewart's website (http://www.marthastewart.com/article/dot-painted-china). It was very easy to do. I got a ceramic plate, some graphite paper, and a Porcelaine 150 pen. I found the supplies at Michael's!

There are templates on the website, so I just printed one out. I taped it onto the plate with the graphite paper, and then I just used a pencil to transfer it onto the plate.


This is the outline on the plate. Make sure you press hard enough, you can see my hand got tired at the end. This is the most tedious part of the project.


Then you just take the pen and paint dots over the outline.




It must dry for 24 hours, then I will bake it in the oven!

  1. I love it. It's so pretty--I think I'll have to make a platter like that. Can you wash it in the dishwasher?
