WHY DESTROY YOURSELF? WHY DIE BEFORE YOUR TIME? THE KEEPERS OF THE HOUSE TREMBLE. DESIRE IS NO LONGER STIRRED. DO NOT CONFORM ANY LONGER TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD.

Cups in the Making

Going dotty.
Added brush strokes....not as accurate or precise as dots.
Paint has been allowed to run on the handle, albeit accidentically on this occasion!

Lettering is ingraved and then painted in.
Handles can be a strong feature. They are done last. Same goes for the rim.

SGRAFFITO TOOL, (above and below) without which this wouldn't be possible!

Pictures of cups in the design stage aren't usually posted because it may detract from the visual impact of the final result but they look so different once they are fired that it is interesting to see the before and after.
