I would love to see the fish graphics that you put on them! These are beautiful!!

Thank you so much!! I unfortunately didn't get a final photo for the order, I don't know why, I think I just forgot! But I did two different types of fish. The mugs were for 3 older fishermen, so I used "old man" fish (etsy purchase) with each of their names below. I'll see if the commemts here will let me post a photo...

Bummer, it won't let me post a photo. I purchased the realistic fish from LillyAllenDesigns (search "fish illustration" in her store: www.etsy.com/shop/LillyAllenDesigns And for the old men fish, I used these guys: www.etsy.com/listing/1490499987/11-bass-fish-png-funny-bass

Yay for Wisconsin! Waukesha native here. I love love love this. I love that you listen to a scanner in the background. Do you think starting with a stainless steel color instead of white makes them pop more? It seems like it. I never knew about adding alcohol with the more metallic ones.

HELLO FELLOW WISCONSINITE!! ❤️ My husband and I are paramedics in our area, so whenever he is on call, I'm always listening and making sure he's okay 🥰🩵💙 As far as leaving the stainless steel color underneath - it's typically not something I do, I usually DO want the colors to pop and be more visible, so I usually put down a white or some other lighter color first. But I like how the silver base is more mellow for this particular cup. If I were to spray paint it with something, I'd probably go with a metallic gold or a brown. I think having white would make it TOO colorful and it wouldn't look as realistic and wouldn't give me the muted and murky look I was going for. Thanks for your comment!! ❤️❤️❤️

And as much as I love the metallic inks, just a drop or two can fan out and really take over. They can almost turn into blobs if you're not careful. So when I want just a little "ribbon" of metallic color, I usually dilute it like this first. 👍

[@debbiedeshong5602]

Yes I agree. The stainless steel just made it look great.
