Drawing on mugs is fun!

So this post today is for two reasons.  First and foremost, I made some kickin’ rad one of a kind mugs.  I got this idea thanks to craftster, roboarsonist.  She used a ceramic paint pen by Pebeo called Porcelaine 150 and used it to draw some designs on a few mugs.  Once I saw that I knew I had to try it.  I went to Michaels and grabbed myself one pen and then to Goodwill to grab up some mugs and then went to town on them.  Well, actually only two of them so far… and here they are!

I really like doing this, although I think next time I’ll get the actual paint instead of the paint pen.. The pen kept getting clogged and it was harder to get a nice consistent line with it.  I’ll post more about the paint after I get myself some.

So the second thing this post is about is that I finally started an Etsy store.  It’s kind of baren right now because I’ve been busy with school and stuff, but stuff will slowly trickle in as I have spare time to make stuff.  I’m going to add these two mugs on it as well. :)

Here’s a link to my little store:

I still have a lot of work to do on it, but I thought it was time to show you all!

    Those are wonderful! I just discovered your blog and LOVE your creative ways. I hope you don’t mind me using your blog as inspiration! I have a similarly themed blog, mine is more thrifty-based-creations and less actual art. (I cannot paint like you!!)

    have a wonderful day!!

    did you put them in the oven?

      Yes, the ceramic pen I used required you to bake the items in order to get the “ink” to stay on.
