I wanted to play around with ceramic markers again, so I bought out a mug (white), found an occasion (Mother’s Day) and got to work. The plan was to make a mug with activities that my mum likes to do. I googled my way through tons of line drawings and settled on a few. Practiced on paper for a bit and then got to work.
Can you guess what I’m trying to show?
Side 1 
Side 2 
Side 3
I was going for:
Side 1 Red – jeu de boules/petanque, there is a tiny cochonnet on there too.
Side 1 Purple – skiing, because it’s the best sport to do in winter.
Side 1 Black – running, a hobby that I will never understand, but she seems to enjoy it.
Side 2 Red – relaxing, maybe with a book. I’m known to partake in this activity too.
Side 2 Purple – having some wine, because I couldn’t figure out how to draw a bar.
Side 2 Black – bicycling, without the helmet that does go with the race bike, but minimalism.
Side 2 Red – choir singing, wailing terrible Dutch songs with a bunch of locals.
Side 3 Purple – playing (bass) guitar, it might not look like a bass, but you get the idea.
Side 3 Black – hiking, following a path all through the Netherlands in different stages.
I did enjoy looking up all the images and making something out of it. The marker instructions said that if I baked it in the oven, the drawings should be permanent and dishwasher proof. So we’ll see how it holds up!
