Having bought my friend Vic a much mooned over Princess Diana mug on her previous birthday I was now aware that following Michael Jackson's recent death she was in need of a memorial mug in his honour. Funds being low I decided to make use of a Christmas present I'd been given a couple of years previously that had been gathering dust under my bed: an Art Attack mug painting set. On prising open the paints I realised they were well and truly past their use by date and rock hard. So off I trotted to the art shop in search of a permanent porcelain pen - the staff told me a permanent marker would do the the trick. I bought their spiel and their pen and on commencing the memorial mug realised this would have to be an ornamental mug due to the drawing being easy to scratch off. But she liked it all the same and so began a search for actual porcelain paints. I found what I was looking for and now have the materials I need to paint USABLE mugs. Hurrah!
