I'll explain more later about how I got into that, but for now I just wanted to show you a few samples that were made by Zrike a few years ago:

Can you see the bees on the strawberry vase?

You know that this one ended up being produced for Calyx Flowers:

I hope you can tell that these are not my photographs! They were sent from the factory.

Pumpkin vase:

And gravy boat! 

I don't even like gravy, but, man I wanted this gravy boat!  

Here is one of the handpainted designs  for a pasta set:

It's incredible how precisely they replicated my hand. (my style of painting)

Here's another example of my originals and the samples made from them:

Yep, ice cream bowls. And here is the set:

Maybe someday!
