Baby Geometric Pot
This was a 1/2 awesome, 1/2 awful dream realized. Dramatic.
What I mean by that is that the first half of this project turned out great. I found a cute bit of clay that was super cheap. I followed the directions from the blog Delia Creates and made an adorable little clay pot. I love the geometric design. It was fun, pretty easy and I think the more I make the better I will get at it.
However, I wanted to color the bottom of it and I followed this creative blog, The Crafted Life, which shows you how to color pots using KoolAid. For many reasons I do not have KoolAid in my home. 1. I live in Korea and assume its not readily available. 2. It’s disgusting. How do people drink that stuff? 3. Following #2, I haven’t had KoolAid for the better part of 25 years.
I decided that some pomegranate tea, a beautiful pink color, should do the trick. I was wrong. See what happened below.
Dunh Dunh Duhhh.

My Interpretation
Yes, as you can see, the tea…it didn’t work. Updates later on my solution to the pomegranate tea dyeing debacle.
Dramatic.
