More Easter Cups

Also, I think I failed to mention in my original “Sharpies on Porcelain” post (which you can view here for all tips, tricks and walkthrough) how much they stink when you cook them.  Not exactly the best time of year to need to crank open your windows.  Ugh.

Speaking of which… isn’t it supposed to be spring already?!?!!?

A little bit of fun and whimsy.  I received a pack of prismacolor pencil crayons for Christmas and decided to use them for the first time to play with color-shading this butterfly.  I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

The best lesson I learned from this piece is to color and shade before you use the microns to do the inner designs. You can see the smudging in the wing flaps where I tried to shade after putting the designs in.
