It seems a shame to throw away a perfectly good Starbucks cup after just one use, which is why a young artist from Ohio converts them into stunning works of art. For the past year and a half, Carrah Aldridge has been collecting her used cups and covering them with colorful designs and patterns using pens and markers.
把只用过一次还是很完好的星巴克纸杯扔掉貌似有些许可惜。这就是一个来自俄亥俄州的年轻艺术家要将这些杯子华丽变身成惊艳艺术品的原因。在过去的一年半中，卡拉·奥尔德里奇一直都把自己用过的星巴克纸杯收起来，然后用钢笔和马克笔在杯身上画上五颜六色的图案和纹样。

“I got my inspiration from an artist by the name of Kristina Webb who drew on a cup and then I decided to try it out myself,” the 20-year-old wrote on Bored Panda. “To say the least, it turned out to be one of my favorite things to do and now I have a little collection growing.”
20岁的卡拉·奥尔德里奇在Bored Panda（熊猫无聊艺术博客网站）上写道：“我是从一个名叫克里斯蒂娜·韦伯的艺术家那受到的启发，她经常在杯子上画画，然后我就决定自己试着这样做。”“至少可以这么说，这是我最喜欢做的事情之一，而且现在我的收藏慢慢地在一点一点地增加。”

“All of my cup designs are created with a white gel pen, and copic markers to fill in solid areas or to add a gradient,” she added. “These cups are great for holding pens and pencils and definitely add a pop of color and creativity into my bedroom.”
卡拉·奥尔德里奇还说到：“我所有纸杯的设计都是用记号笔和一种白色的中性笔画上去的，并用COPIC酒精性马克笔填满杯子上空白部分增加梯度感”。“这些杯子用来装钢笔铅笔啥的都是极好的，而且绝对能为我的房间增添一抹欢快的颜色和创意。”

Carrah follows a seasonal theme with her designs, much like Starbucks itself. For autumn she covered the cups in leaves, bats, and pumpkins in varying shades of orange. During winter, she covered the cups with blue and white motifs.
卡拉还为她的设计赋予季节性的主题，这点更像星巴克杯子本身。秋天的时候她会在杯子上用深浅不一的橙色画上叶子、球拍和南瓜灯。等到冬天，她就会在杯子上画上以蓝白色为主基调的图画。

She also decorates the green Starbucks logo with extra facial features and bangs, so the lady ends up looking prettier. She doesn’t plan any of the designs in advance – she just decides the theme and runs with it.
卡拉还会用不同的脸部特征和刘海装饰绿色星巴克杯上的徽标，那样杯子上的女士看起来会更漂亮。卡拉并不会提前计划好要画什么样式——她一般临时决定主题而后就直接上手。

As her cup collection grew, she starting posting photographs of her work on Instagram, where they gained instant popularity.
随着卡拉的收藏日益增加，她开始将自己作品的照片上传到Instagram上，立马就流行开来了。

“My post popular cup art, being my blue cup, now has over 12,700 likes which blew my mind,” Carrah wrote.
卡拉写道：“我最受欢迎的纸杯作品还要属那只蓝色的杯子，获得了1万2700多个赞，完全出乎我的意料。”
