I simply fell in love with these mugs when they were ready. Sprayed colours using an old toothbrush and enhanced using 3D Neon Liners to make a random cactus it was taken to the next level altogether. The shadings and the Neon Liners have contrasted very well. Try this technique on anything that is terracotta, a platter, plate, a jug etc.
