So for starters, the reason there is a finger in this photo is that my dad broke the handle off of my beautiful mug. D: I was really upset as I spent a long time painting it! this mug is very little, it's more of a nightly tea sort of mug than a morning "give me ridiculous amounts of coffee" kind of mug. I had thrown it and had nicked the side of it with my nail, and then I had the idea to carve out the sides of it in lines. Then after it was bisqued I decided to paint them. I painted the side so that when looked straight on at the handle, they match up exactly with the lines on the body of the cup. In hindsight, I would have chosen another underglaze color, as my tree sort of looked like a blood-vessel in a way. :( However, other than that and the extra clear at the bottom, I am really pleased with this mug. So fun to paint! Really happy with this project.
