results: Pinterest sharpie/ mug

this was the precooking....

this is the post cooking, with me washing with water and light rubbing. please keep in mind too, i did not see anywhere that colored sharpies were used. almost every image i saw was with a black sharpie. the only color i saw posted anywhere was a brown....so the fushia color- not too good, but, that was the only color that actually rubbed off.

the colors also changed just a bit, the yellow circles (i had two yellow circles towards the top of the mug- reference first picture above), are now a light peach/ flesh color.

this is the side of the cup that i made for my girlfriend....she will laugh out loud when she sees what options i made for her. :)

and a face to go with her zombie juice....sometimes this is how i feel; but, overall, this experiment worked fairly well except for the fushia color. every other color seemed pretty stead fast.i would recommend gentle hand washing. this was super fun and the possibilities were whirling in my head...as they were countless.

a mixed media tea party

some people like a cup of tea....i prefer a mug!

i did make a cup set of tea for our local tea party however. i liked the book paper i used for the general background and then, i used a vintage recipe (salvaged from an auction, but, just like gramma's) and dictionary words for each piece.

i like the little peaks of gold from between the paper and the definition of a teacup.

more of the recipe card on the inside, with a hint of tea.
