Friday I abused my lunch plate at work so much it cracked in half. It's a cute melamine plate (a set of 4 I bought a long time ago!) with a paint by number scene of various wood animal on each plate. The set is pictured below.
Sad things have happened to these plates. Two still exist, one as I said, broke in half, you're definitely not supposed to microwave them although I did very often. The last one was thrown away by someone, having mistaken it for a disposable plate!
Anyway, all of this reminded me that I really enjoy the kitschy-ness of paint by numbers. Here are a few things I've found recently that embrace it and do a great job!
This great zipper handbag from Etsy,
here.
And a very similar pattern of fabric but made into an apron! Again on Etsy,
here.
Very cool men's tie with just the illustration (of the Mona Lisa) on it. Found
here.
