SUe - I know, right!?! I immediately wanted a frosted sugar cookie, too. ANd because I am in the middle of ruminating on art and pricing, I did take a moment to think, "Those must be the world's most expensive cookies!"
I tried this too and it IS really easy. Check out my mug that I did it on on my Facebook page Laughing Orange STudio https://www.facebook.com/laughingorangestudio
I did it on the base of the mug and on the saucer. These are Frog Prince Mugs for Valentine's Day. I did a white version too. It is really fun but when I tried to do one with hearts I couldn't decide which direction the strokes should go...LOL!

Lori Keenan Watts (aka me) is a potter, gardener, and avid reader from Augusta, Maine. Though I started my university education in surface design for fabric, clay quickly grabbed me by the heart and redirected my creative impulses. I have been a potter for over 25 years -- hard to believe. The most valuable years of my ceramic education were spent in graduate study at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, under the tutalage of Dan Anderson and Paul Dresang.
My aesthetic is guided by my love of the material itself. What fascinates me and makes a pot compelling for me is the clay-ness of clay: the squooshiness that becomes the adamantine solidity. I also like patterns, unexpected proportions, and when the flame comes along and dissolves part of my careful decorating efforts! I am obstinate about this aesthetic, to a point which might be called pig-headed, but hey, if you don't like what you make, why bother?
My happy little family also includes my husband, musician and photographer (and author of the book Alewife) Doug Watts; five cats; and a turtle, all foundlings and rescues of one stripe or another.

Very cool. It looks like it would work great with slip.
And now I want a cookie. :-)
This technique reminds me of tole painting. Very pretty.

It won't let me watch the video. :( It says "This video is private".
That's weird...It gives me that message, now, too. Hmmm...
