Father's Day Art

Little man decorated a coffee mug for his Father's Day gift. It turned out really cute and his dad loved it. 

We started out with a plain white porcelain mug and Martha Stewart paint made for glass/porcelain. 

The project was a little messier than I expected but it was still fun! Little man loved painting. We used only blue and green. There was a lot of color-mixing so I was glad I stuck with two colors.

I painted "2013" on the bottom and we let it air dry for about 8 hrs then baked it for 30 minutes at 350 (placing it in a cold oven so that it didn't crack). It is supposed to be dishwasher safe but is not ok for the microwave. Most importantly though, Dad loved it!
