Coffee Drawings: Guess What!?

More Dishes!!! I was messing around on Pinterest (again) and found many, many gorgeous arrangements of dishes for my drawing pleasure. And I hope seeing them brings you a little pleasure as well.

Shrinky Dink Art Drives Me CRAZY!

But it was worth it! After about 10 completely failed attempts, I finally got the hang of cooking this plastic menace! And figured out enough to do a little art project with colored pencils and sharpies. It’s not quite like I saw on Pinterest, but I am happy enough now to turn off the oven and forget the whole thing. For now…hahahaha.

Also, please apologize to your loved ones, because I know you will be sucked into Pinterest after reading this. 🙂

Thank you Presents of Mind in Portland, for posting your newest collection of vintage-looking dishes! The photo is beautiful and it inspired today’s coffee drawing.

Coffee Drawings: Vintage Dishes

 

Yesterday, I was taking a much-needed trip to the gym and I passed Stars Antique Mall in Portland. I was so captivated by this window display of vintage dishes, the arrangement and the colors that the dealer had put into it, that I had to take a picture. And today, I had to draw some of them. 🙂 So, thank you Stars dealer for such wonderful inspiration!!!
