porcelain cups

I've thrown (pun not intentional...) myself into making cups in Southern Ice porcelain. 27 (plus other stoneware pieces) over 2 days, then a day of trimming - I'm fairly impressed with myself!

However, I've lost so much skin off my fingers, it hurts to type!

The plan is paint the cups with more patterns from my homesickness sketchbook doodlings.

  2. Do like the illustration - like a wee school of blue bottles. I do hope you fingers recover soon.

  7. Ouch! Hope your fingers get better soon. At least it was worth the pain as the example that you showed is beautiful. Love that the design is not fussy and totlly compliments the shape of the cup.
