3D Zoo Animal Mugs

This Giraffe Mug is a Fun Way to Drink Your Morning Coffee

— August 18, 2013 — Art & Design
This giraffe mug is beautifully designed to highlight the zoo animal’s most prominent feature.

This cup is a charming white, and is painted to resemble the tall mammal. The design is extremely beautiful, as the painted animal doesn't overwhelm the mug. Instead it lines and covers certain areas of the cup in a tasteful way. This mug has a 3D component to it, making the graphic component different than the other mugs in your cupboard. To use the giraffe’s long neck for a design bonus, the giraffe is created to look as though he’s coming out of the mug by using the neck as the handle.

This cute mug will brighten up a morning, and kids will love it for drinking hot chocolate.
