Yellow Tea Cup

I still have a few special teacups that hold sentimental value for me. Collecting and exchanging teacups for special occasions such as weddings was a popular tradition. Of all my teacups, I bought one for myself, while the others were thoughtful gifts from special people.

Debi is hosting this wonderful swap with the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group. I am her partner and this is the tea cup that I made for her, it is removable so that the cup can be used.

I love how this Hipstamatic photo looks almost impressionist with its blur, and how the colors are so strong.

This photo is not safe for a global audience. It glorifies the consumption of heated caffeinated beverages. By use of soft focus combined with sensuously sleek curves it risks causing desirous impulses for the viewer.

 

In reality, caffeine is a highly addictive substance that can lead to a life long dependency.

 

Its dangerous for being a hot liquid. One that is readily available for a small price in many parts of the world. In some places, it is even available twenty-four hours a day, every day of the week. Yet a single cup, mishandled by carelessness or malicious intent, can cause painful burns to one or several people at a time. If the terrorists ever figure that out, God help us all.

 

(this, at last, concludes the 'safe a global audience' series)

 

Notes to +/- pro:

Please ignore its context within the safe global audience rant of mine.

Pretty teacups make drinking tea great fun.

My mom collected souvenir plates when we traveled. When I was very young, I decided I would collect miniature souvenir cups and saucers. I have given most away to my young great-nieces but kept a couple for the especially good memories.

Another surprising find in a Northern Maine anitque shop yesterday. I couldn't make it to Brimfield so I had to settle for Northern Maine. This is the first teacup I have found. The image looks like it may have been made from a daguerreotype.

"My heart is like a teacup covered with hairline cracks. I feel like I have to walk real carefully so it won't get shaken and just all shatter and break. " -- Francesca Lia Block, Missing Angel Juan.

Teacups in a shrine, Singapore

So many benches, so little time. It was so cute, everytime we saw a bench, she would say: "mommy, look we should take pictures with that bench". I had to explain about Bench Monday to my family, since they were all wondering why she had a bench obsession :)
