Bee and dragonfly mugs

 

I made these for my mum's birthday in spring. The blank mugs were from a children's mug painting kit (the type of ones with terrible paints.) I used Pebeo's Cerne Relief Outliners for the linework and then once that dried I used a mix of Pebeo's Moon, Prisme and Vitrail....paints? to colour. I have no idea what the correct name for these ceramic paints is.

The only real difficulty was only being able to paint a thin strip at a time without it running around the mug. And hiding the smell the paints make so my mum wouldn't know what I was doing.

I have more blank mugs somewhere, might do more abstract ones.
