Cockroach Love mug



Just posted the above handmade mug in my Etsy shop. There's a red heart on the other side of the mug. :-)

This was made of porcelain clay, thrown on a wheel and trimmed by Luisa. I painted the piece, then gave it back to Luisa. Luisa then fired it in a kiln, glazed it with a clear glaze, then fired it once more. The mug is food safe, microwave and dishwasher safe.

Why a cockroach? Because they're fun to draw. Plus imagine the expressions of delight and envy on the faces of your office mates when you bring this into the office! They'll all be bugging you (HA! PUN NOT INTENDED!) to tell them where they can get one too!
