My New Mug

I painted a mug at ArtSpace last week. I used pictures that the kids had drawn to design my mug. A couple weeks before Maddux had drawn a picture of our kitty, Ramble. It was the first time he had drawn something that actually looked like what he said it was. He drew it on the whiteboard so I took a picture to keep it. That same week Ava drew a really fantastic picture of our other cat, Cammie. Since I had 2 great pictures of our 2 cats I decided to use them for my mug.

Here's the whiteboard drawing of Maddux's Ramble (the orange cat was drawn by Ava)...


Here's Ava's Cammie (we're not entirely sure what a "com" cat is, I'm thinking she meant "tom" cat, but Cammie's a girl)...


And my mug, I love it! It turned out sooo good. I was concerned about my decision to make the mug blue, but it came out just as I wanted, a little imperfect like the drawing it's based on. I also decided to make Ramble gray like he is in real life, otherwise he would have looked like a white kitty. I love this mug so much I think I might save up other artwork and make a whole collection of them!
