Really quick and dirty project here... A halloween themed mug for the Mugs and Monsters swap on Instagram.
I know this has been delivered, but I've not seen if my partner has actually opened the parcel. Oh well.
Large black mug from the local cookware shop, ceramic paint and a toothbrush (and a normal paint brush to do the text)
I love doing silhouette mugs like this, I think they look really cool. I did a Deep Space 9 one a few years ago, and that looked awesome.
Cut the pattern from paper, stick it to the mug using cheap and cheerful kiddie glue that doesn't actually stick very well.
I mixed up some orange and some pale green paint, and used the toothbrush to splatter it on the mug. Wait for the paint to dry and peel off the template. Voila, a witch flying across the sky!
I free-handed the text because I couldn't make a stencil small enough.
Bake it in the oven for half an hour to set the paint, and there you have it!
