But this is not the post for Ren stuff, because I am still processing the photos. This post is to welcome the newest addition to my household:
The Curlycue mug!
As longtime readers of this blog will remember, I lost my favorite mug to time and trouble earlier this year. There was great sadness and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Even more so when I went looking for a replacement, and found that green is apparently not a popular mug color, and small elegant cups are apparently a rare commodity anyway.
But lo! Just as I was about to give up, Black Dachsund Potter came to my rescue! Look at that mug! Two glazes, lots of texture, a unique handle that fits just perfectly against my fingers- and you would not believe how lightweight it is. And like all good ceramics, it doesn't flavor my tea. That would be yucky.
What's that? You want a sketch? Demanding crowd!;) I'm still recovering from the fair though (it is possible I had Too Much Fun) so you'll have to settle for this:
A wee witchy who got lost on her way to Halloween. Now I fear she will have to be a November Witch, and those poor lasses get a bad name,all because a few sailors don't know enough to get out of the weather.
I should note that the coloring on this was done with a mouse, while my dear huband has the Cintiq. Hence the sucking.

Love your line "recognition with anonymity"...that is so me. Glad to hear the fair was good & that you found The Mug :) I don't know what hubby would do if something happened to his.
Lost witches - how sad. But she looks good - minus Cintiq and all (I am assuming that is some sort of program gizmo...I am never good with tech terms - it's always 'that thingy' and the long pointy thing that glows')
I love that line too - the "recognition with anonymity" it's wonderful!
That coffee mug looks fantastic! And your sketch is cute even if you had to use the mouse :P
Nice! Love your pieces and glad you had fun! I hope you will blog about the experience!
Oh, what a great mug! I'm totally jealous! And the idea of your sketch is adorable.. being late for Halloween.. it just love it! Glad to have you back (:

Tilt-
The Cintiq is my Magic Paper. Seriously. It's a computer screen I can draw on, directly on, with the accompanying pencil and the graphics software of my choice. I am not yet worthy of it, hence all the practice sketches-- but you see how awesome it is, even for a scrub like me.
It is seriously out of my price range too, and therefor goes down as the Best Birthday Present Ever.
Roseworks- Thanks, after getting used to the Cintiq, coloring with just my touchpad was like trying to paint with my teeth!
Unique- Thank you! I surely will blog about the fair, but I want some pics to go with it.:)
Mannie- I'm sure Dachsund would be happy to make you a muggy too!
And I'm glad to be back! Oh internet, I think I missed you most of all!;D
Cool mug!
