Mug Shots

[pensnest]

Okay, it's time to boast. A big THANK YOU to the lovely rikes who took photos of them all...

The pix are Quite Large, click for full size. The tall latte mugs come up at about life size, eventually.

Last year's AJ mug, still unclaimed.



This year's AJ was pounced upon, but I cannot remember by whom.



As was Kevin.



And Nick.



Justin was made specially for rikes,



and the best of the lot was of course for bubbleforest.



There were also a bunch of small mugs, as we decided nopseud needed a reward for being (a) awesome, (b) co-instigator of Camp Sparkle, and (c) a year older. Also, I kinda got into the habit of going off to paint on Wednesdays, and didn't want to stop.



These should come in handy on sparkly weekends chez nopseud, although her esteemed spouse may not be altogether impressed to have a cupboard full of Sparkly Boys.



And yes, that's sexy!Howie, not quite fitting the pattern of the others, but he's probably my favourite of the lot, complete with leopardskin background.

OMG. You are SO TALENTED. I am dead of jealousy.

[pensnest]

*grins* It's mostly in the photoshopping, really. But I'm very pleased with how they turned out.

wow, these are brilliant!!! go you :)

[pensnest]

Thanks! I'm so grateful to rikes for taking the pics, as my camera let me down and I did want a record.

oh, those are amazing! you've got some mad talent


I now want them all - too bad you're across the pond, cause otherwise I'd totally commission you to make me some.

[pensnest]

It's a lot of fun doing them, though perhaps rather less talent involved than might appear, as the magic is mostly in the photoshopping. :-)

Drawing hearts in the air all OVER this. God, they're all so pretty. ♥ I use my mug every morning when I'm getting my juice, it's basically the awesomest thing I own. Also, fadedsouls snagged your AJ mug!

[pensnest]

I think your Brian mug is probably the best of the lot - he turned out *so* well. I'm glad to hear he's getting plenty of use ;-)

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

Those are absolutely fantastic!

[pensnest]

Thank you! I think a little showing off is, well, understandable.

[nopseud]

My mugs are now occupying the space on the shelf from which the Denby teacups have been banshied. SO AWESOME OMG!

p.s. When you've recovered from the CS painting, I have a couple of commissions for you. :-)

[pensnest]

I anticipate a Reproachful Look from archie_gremlin next time I visit ;-)

Ooh, commissions?

[nopseud]

I'd really, really love a hairband!Kevin, to go with the hairband!Howie. And then I will have all 10 in matching sizes, two hairbanders so that Howie isn't lonely, AND an extra Kevin. \o/

Also, how much would it be for a blue-green bowl, like the one you make for my birthday? Someone I know was really admiring it, so I'd really love to get something similar as a present for her. The part she liked was the blue-green colours on the outside, so it doesn't necessarily have to be peacock feathers inside. Anything you fancy doing would be great, I'm sure.

Also, OMG, YOUR ICON! {faints}

[pensnest]

I should think hairband!Kevin ought to be possible - I'll have to see if they get the right size of mug, though, because the stock is oddly variable. And I'll check the price of the bowl too, and let you know.

[nopseud]

Awesomecakes :-) Thank you very much.

[pixiebeanz.livejournal.com]

These are amazing!! So pretty!

[pensnest]

Thank you! I'm very pleased with how they turned out. (You never quite know until they've been glazed and fired.)

[adelate]

They are so awesome! Also, I snagged a JC mug. I thought rikes had that too for photographing, but maybe not? :)

[pensnest]

Ah yes, the red JC, I do have pics of that one and the spare Lance too. :-)

[rikes]

And thank *you*, once again, for the pretty Justin! He brings me much joy. :)

I just showed these to my sister, and she also agrees on Brian being the awesomest. :)

[pensnest]

I'm very happy to have photos of them all :-D

[syncalot.livejournal.com]

All quite lovely!

[pensnest]

Thank you! I'm very proud of myself at the moment.

[silencegrenade.livejournal.com]

How cool! I love the Nick mug.

[pensnest]

Some of them came out *very* well. :-)

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Oh my goooood I am in LUST with the second all black AJ mug. NNNNNNNGH. Remind me to ask you for one the next Camp Sparkle?

[pensnest]

I hope you can come to the next Camp Sparkle - that would be awesome! I'll be very happy to do a mug for you.
