Some cheerful cups

You know I'm on this kick of making cheerful colors on pottery, with flowers that are huge, and some insects that are less than anatomically correct. So now there are these cups!

They might be good for juice, or whiskey, or wine, or milk, or tea, or whatever...

Once again, the color is only where the little pollinator might be, with the rest of the cup decorated in monochrome.

Tea bowls or cups

Never sure why a tea bowl is the term, since it refers to a Japanese tradition.
But if I called these tea cups, you'd expect a handle...so.  You figure it out.

Yes, these complete my set for the Black Mountain Center for the Arts show coming soon, "What's the Buzz?"

If you're in the Black Mountain, NC area next Thurs. Sept. 10, 6 pm, come to the Center for the Arts for the opening, including a talk about pollinators!  Most of the art will be paintings on the walls, but look for some sculptures too!  The show will be open in the Gallery from Sept 10 to Oct. 9, and all sales have a large percentage going to the Center for the Arts.
