Teacup by Shawn McGuire (Greenwood Studios on etsy)
This is a delicate little cup, wonderfully shaped, with fantastic purple blue curtain draped over a rich mellow gold
"'Teacups'? What? Outrageous! Speak not to me of your dainty, bourgeois teacups! We have a World Revolution to win here, so let them drink fluid out of their army-surplus canteens!"
"But Comrade Factory Manager! It's been scientifically proven that tea improves worker efficiency! And -- thanks to my industrial design training-- I have created a entirely new, Communist tea-cup! It mimics the decadent ceramic form-factors of yesterday's parlor tea-cups -- although it is made entirely of heavy-gauge industrial steel wire and cheap industrial cast glass. The two basic resources that our People's Republic and our own factory has in plenty!"
"But won't this cheap glass, with its pathetic attempt at female-friendly artistic embossing, simply fall through the cheap steel wire? This wire doesn't even loop around the glass securely."
"Such a failure of its function is scientifically impossible, sir! You see, the glass can indeed *rotate* in the grip of the wire -- which facilitates cleaning! -- yet it cannot get free and fall out, due to the steel wire's tensile strength and elastic modulus. Plus, the combination handle-and-support is simply sheared and bent to proper shape in one single, efficient action."
"Hmmm. It's not a bad conceptual effort, comrade -- quite political! Why, with such rugged, simple materials, we could bury the West in teacups! I'll have your plans forwarded to the Bureau of Utensil Improvement and they'll be in production within five years!"
I got my first Minifee head today! She is a sleeping tan Celine and I am SOO excited! She was a rather impulse buy, but I think she will be the mascot/representation of Historical. Dreams! I haven't decided on a name yet, but I think a face-up will help!
I made this lamp when Geena was approx. 6 years old, she is now 22. I still have tons of cups and saucers with holes drilled. Currently I am using the saucers as edging for my raised planting beds.
I was originally inspired when I found out there was a drill bit especially made for ceramics and glass.

Two sketches from last night. Had a wonderful catch up with Alissa and Chris - my Sydney friends who were at the symposium in BCN.
What an absolute treat it is for me this year to have friends to share with in an unrestrained way (a lot of other friends don't really understand what a USK event is all about!)… we can go nuts talking non stop and we all understand. SO many things still to compare notes on! Amazingly it was a month exactly since we were last together in BCN (we said goodbye to Alissa Monday morning 15 July and this was thursday evening Australian time 15 August …so a month almost to the hour!)
I am trying not to be so much of an obsessive sketcher these days so this means that I often don't bother attempt to sketch of every meal especially when I am with people - choosing rather to get the most of of the conversation and even amazing sketchbooks to look through (why sketch when you can look through Chris's and Alissa's amazing sketchbooks in real life??) But I still managed to do a quick sketch beforehand and then once home as a way of recording the event! I sketched the Queen Victoria Building at a rapid pace (reflecting the busy-ness of the cars, buses and people around me and the fading light) and then sketched my 'Barcelona Cup'... finding it hard to have the time for sketching just for me these days. I might start a mini series on this cup as it is very challenging to do in a quick way and I need some time to get to know it better!
