Hello everyone,
this is my first topic here in DSF, I'll try to keep it short, my Gf had a souvenir mug from turkey which someone broke it so i'm trying to make a replica for her, The mug was one of STARBUCKS collector series & i couldn't find the design online, also the mug was rare and very expensive on eBay or amazon, so i managed over the last week to design a replica of the outer image and the outside bottom, but I can't figure out how to paint the inside of the mug with the dark brown color.
What i need help with:
1- How to paint the inside of the mug with solid color (dark brown)
.
2- I tried to apply the outside bottom part using the same technique used to apply the outer design (Heating a special printed paper) but it didn't work, the printing guy said that this part of the mug is not treated to be printed on and we have to use another technique using a paper called "Decal", is this right? also is this decal technique can be used to print the inside of the mug? also is it safe, like chemically safe cuz it will coat the inside of the mug?
.
3-Also the image in real like is a little bit greener than it look is there's a fix for that? (the green tone appeared after applying the design on the mug, the printed paper was just fine)
Here's a picture of the required original startbuck mug:
