I hosted a tea cup swap with the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group and this is the tea cup that I gave my partner Terri H.
For many years, my faithful tea mug has served me well. It came from Upton Tea with a fitted lid and infusion basket. I loved it immediately. Within about five weeks, though, I had managed to chip the mug’s rim. (I think I dropped something on it.) Yet the mug served on, its rewards undiminished.
Until this morning, that is. That’s when I noticed that time and the accumulated strain of too many hot-water shocks had finally overcome my mug, drawing forth a small crack, which crawled downward from the original chip. So fine was the crack that it would have remained hidden had it not been for the tea which betrayed it, staining its course in ochre. But now that it had started, I knew how it will end.
I guess it’s time to order a new mug.
From a small series of miniature cakes designed to look like a coffee mug and a set of three decorated tea cups and saucers.
The cake is a decadent mocha (dark chocolate and coffee) madeira cake with coffee flavoured buttercream.

This was so much fun to make, it's just ridiculously cute and silly and fun <3
A burnt teacup I found in an abandoned mining camp in Idaho. You can see that when the forest fire burned through the camp it was hot enough to melt the edges of the cup. 13AUG08
These images were captured around the cottage originally built as a wedding present for their daughter.
Seems like we went from 50 degrees and jackets to 80 degrees and shorts overnight. No matter, it was a welcome relief so off to Chanticleer Gardens we went with cameras in hand.
Chanticleer is in Wayne PA in suburban Philadelphia just a 1-1/4 hour drive from home. Pretty easy to get to.
Our prime mission was to simply get outside for a few hours and take some pictures. In a few short weeks, we’ll be headed to Europe so we also wanted to test drive capturing images WITHOUT our interchangeable lens cameras. In my case that would be an iPhone X, a GoPro, and a 360 camera. It was only iPhone X for Kathy. Both of us had iPhones mounted into a grip for easier handling.
The first issue we ran into was simply being able to see what was on our iPhone screens. The bright sun and reflections made it almost impossible to see controls. I was using FILMic Pro for video and a camera control app for stills. We were barely able to simply compose an image. Half hour in, we found a shady spot to check results and were surprised at how well exposed our images were. Sharpness, for the most part, was spot on.
