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.

experiment: Pinterest sharpie/ mug

are you on pinterest?....i love pinterest and probably almost need therapy. :) anyway, that is for another day....i have been wanting to do this DIY project with a white mug and sharpies. i had looked for white mugs last week and could not find the mugs then, but, last night i scored! i bought 2 mugs to try. below are the pics of my mug. i will do the second mug tonight and let you know for sure if this experiment is true and the sharpie stays on the mugs as it is claimed after baking at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.






no more coffee...sad face. time for a refill.
