How to seal acrylic paint on a ceramic plate, with porcelain paint matt ?

dinnerware sets design image

William He

For my sisters for Christmas i would like to paint plain white plates to create a unique dinnerware set for each of them. I love to paint and think the idea of transporting my art to there dinner table sounds so fun! however, from reading on numerous blogs- i understand that acrylic paint DOES NOT hold up after many washings on ceramics, and therefore you should use ceramic/porcelain/china paint... which is specifically designed for painting on these types of surfaces. ok... so, my question is: (because ceramic paint is so ridiculously expensive!! and i have a huge collection of acrylics at home..) if i paint on a plate with acrylic paint, let it dry, and then coat it in something like this Pebeo Porcelaine medium matt (http://www.amazon.com/Pebeo-Porcelaine-Medium-45-Milliliter-Bottle/dp/B005KOH342/ref=lh_ni_t) .... bake at 325 for 30 minutes-- do you think that will work? Has anyone tried this method? did sealing the acrylic paint in a ceramic finish make the art dishwasher, scrub brush, and my-three-year-old-neice's-craziness safe?? THANKS!

i guess i should have specified. i am refering to non-toxic acrylic paint which i use when finger painting with the little ones- who like to eat the paint ;]

Answer
No it won't work. You could go to "Paint the Town " or similar place and do one plate for each person.
Toxic or non-toxic- it will not work.

What kind of dinnerware set should I get?

Help, I'm new to shopping for these kinds of things since I just married :)

I'm into earth tones, neutral shades. my husband does not like white dinnerware for some reason. But I'm not into designs.

I need something to match our apartment too, it will be earthy shades, like chocolate brown, grey, beige, dark green.

I'm into more higher quality items, yet not too expensive to break the bank. I'm looking for a 32 piece set between the prices of $100-300

Answer
Look online to see what Penney's, Sears, or Pfaltzgraf has to offer. Marriage is all about compromise, so maybe you could find dinnerware that has white plates with an earth tone edge. Please make sure you consult your husband before you make a final decision. It's not a "me" thing now, it's a "we" thing. It's a respect thing, you know?
