Last of February crafts

The remaining crafts from me and my son for this month.  I’ll start off with the mug I made him.  First I followed an interesting and easy technique to get the design on the mug.

how it looked with the design on the mug.

Then I traced the design with sharpie markers and “fired” it.  Disappointingly the colors didn’t even stay close to true.

Before “firing” the mug.

 

After “firing” it in the oven, colors look completely different.  All shades of brown instead of red, yellow and orange.

 

Next is the mini figure head cake I made for the boychild’s birthday party.  It’s OK, not one of my better ones I think.

Finally is the picture my son painted that I liked and his lego message to me.
