A couple of days ago I made a coffee cup template and then spent half an afternoon going through my paper jumble cutting out the mug shapes with scissors and an exacto blade. I also had these two little canvases started with cut up pages of print glued on to them and covered in inky dabs as an experiment with colour. In a burst of maniacal creativity I decided to pair them up.
And thus we have the result of plan as you go. Or don’t have any plan and then critique your colour choices after the fact. These either go with anything, or (more likely) nothing at all.
The good news is, the next one will be better! Because I have about a thousand paper cups needing a place to shine. Yes, a thousand is a gross exaggeration. I have maybe a dozen more, and an actual idea in my head. And then I think I will be done with stacked coffee cups for a bit.

Beautiful! I love the color choices and the print background! I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy your work… forgive me for taking so long to return to your blog.

Anything with purple in it is fine with me!

Great! Can I ask are these highlights from camera flash or are they glazed white integral parts of the image?

I was a little over zealous with a silver gelato doing highlights and then not able to tone them down. So we will just pretend light is coming from several different directions all at once. 😄

It looks convincing enough and an interesting effect that could be tried in a different context…

I love the design and the colors do go well with the patterns, so I vote “go with anything”. 🙂

There’s enough color in them that they will match any decor. Looking good.
