[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 563547"] I've done mugs...and (drinking) glasses... I am creative - but don't have an ounce of artistic talent...so I started with CLEAR GLASS mugs and also goblets. I used glass markers - not sharpies. I am not sure if sharpies would work...I don't see why not... ANYWAY...I used my desktop publishing software to create the design and personalization I wanted, and printed it. I put the printout INSIDE the glass, and traced over it with the glass markers. They looked really nice and I never could have pulled off such a pretty design freehand. FWIW - when PC15 & PC18 were in grade and middle school and had assignments that included "hand done" art project elements - i did something similar. We would design it on the computer and print it it super light gray,using the "coloring book" option (I used Print Shop). They would then color it in and hide the gray outlines and no one was wiser. difficult child and H have artistic ability, and sadly the PCs and I don't have a shred of it. I am not sure if schools still ban computer generated images for most projects. These weren't art assignments - usually they were diorama backgrounds, book reports, etc. shhhhhhh [/QUOTE]
