Gentleman Teacupsby ~Leashe

Artisan Crafts / Ceramics, Pottery & Clay / Tableware

You heard right! Cups for the gentleman present in all of us.

I've opened up an etsy [link] in hopes of getting some grocery money in exchange for these super cute classy teacups!

This is for all of you people who have wanted to commission me but couldn't afford it, as these are reasonably priced, and totally one of a kind. Get them while you still can!

Are you using glaze or slip to paint the animals?

These are adorable bits of tea ware. Have you ever experimented with scraffito or..crap there's another one but I can't rememeber its name at the moment.
I think the use of those, covered with a glaze would be an excellent way to make your lines sharper and give you the ability to add more detail to these figures. Or, perhaps carving out thin blocks (Where the flat colors would be) and filling them with a layer of interesting, appropriately colored glaze...ther are tons of amazing textured glazes out there. You might be able to find some that do a passable fur, or some interesting pattern.

Or most dramatically, carving the silhouettes into the cups and making the animals from carvings - to be attached, Korean Woodblock style to the pieces.

This series is great though. Gentlemen never fail to make me laugh a little.
