I have many different serving dishes in my kitchen. I love to present every meal with eye-pleasing quality…
Over the years, I have collected many pieces that work in my kitchen and decor so well. I found these ‘cabbage’ dishes a few years ago, and they are perfect for salads or for serving vegetables. But they aren’t very hardy in the the dishwasher as I came to learn the hard way.
In these pictures you will notice two white chips in the ceramic dishes – in the lower right hand corner.
And here’s a close-up shot….
So, rather than throw them away…. I colored the chips with Copic markers…
And, now it’s hard to see the chips.. I used R35, R45, and R39 until the color was pretty close to the original red glaze-ware.
Then I topped the chips off with Crystal Effects from SU.. I don’t think you can even tell there was a chip! I have heard that both Copics and Crystal Effects have endless uses.. .. and now I’m a believer.. Try this on a ceramic dish you might have. Don’t throw it away! Repair it! I’ve not put these through the dishwasher yet, but I’ll let you know how they fare!

Now THAT'S crafty! Way to go! :)
Oh NO! Know your coloring your dishes...I am calling for help!
What a cool idea! Looks like a perfect match to me.
This is just awesome. You can't even see them. I love all kinds of cool looking dishes and such. There's actually a place here where you can paint stuff the way you want and they will finish it for you. A friend of mine and I are going real soon. I will blog about of course. Thanks for the tips, now I know what to do with my bowl that I just got a chip in. YEA!!!
Wow, that's so good to know. Thanks for sharing.
You are so clever! I love serving pieces and am getting quite a collection myself.
How CLEVER!! What a great idea! I would never have thought of that...TFS :)
Move over Martha Stewart! :o) Great use of those Copic markers, for other than paper crafts! Those are awesome lookin' plates!
That is so cool! I love those dishes
Now that is a great idea.
