More Black and White Checks...

Goodwill had 50% off everything this past weekend and I bought these 2 little ceramic boxes for a total of $.69
and I pulled out my nifty Sharpie and colored some checks:
and now I have "houses" for my soap and detergent bottles:

  1. Hi, Patti! No way - those are too cute! I never thought to just Sharpie on ceramic, ha! Got to try this now! Did you clearcoat them with something to protect the drawing?

  3. Great idea! Sharpies are right up there with spray paint - use them both frequently! :D
    Have a nice evening.

  5. What a great idea. You did a wonderful job on those. I never would have thought to use a sharpie. Thanks for sharing.

  6. What a talented person you are! I would have never in a million years thought to use a sharpie to paint with. They turned out so cute, and what use you will get out of them. I hate when my dish soap leaks on to my counter. I will have to look for a nifty thrifty solution for that problem as well.

  9. SO cute. No, more than just cute. You're amazing with that Sharpie.

    Do you have a background in art, or are you just really, really good at doodling?? I know you've sewed a lot--have you also painted?
