Week 34: Quintessential Art Project

This week's art project is: Create a large coffee mug out of cardboard.  You can make it 2-D or 3-D and it does not have to be cardboard, but could be of any material you wish.  Color, paint (or however you choose) your mug in your honey’s favorite color (or you could use decorative paper and glue it on).  In the middle of the mug, draw a big heart that says something such as, “I like my coffee (or tea) like I like my man (or woman)...”  Fill in your own blank at the end for however you feel about your hot beverages and your mate!  (My former physical therapist said she likes her men and coffee tall and blonde.)  If you would like, you can write on the back of the mug, "Just like coffee and tea – only much, much better..." and fill in your own descriptions.

If you would like, include an invitation (or an IOU if money is currently too tight) to coffee and/or dessert at a coffee house or restaurant.

I made my "mug" out of cardboard. Yes, it would have looked better with colored paper and a printed design, but we do not have a printer, and this still conveyed the message. Also, I had been out of glue, so the tape looks a little messy. The IOU the otter is holding was for coffee and dessert at a local coffee shop. I made that 7 or 8 years ago, and my hubby cashed it in, so we had a fun time at a local coffee shop later that week. If I remember correctly, their prices were so expensive we split the dessert!
