An older design to share for
#InverteFest. Very few people enjoy seeing a
#cockroach on a mug they're drinking from, which is why I just had to make these. Only a customer with a particular sense of humor brings this into their home.
#potteryofbluesky #ceramicmug #ceramics #wheelthrown #bugs #roachI love this. I had a customer commission a mug with a dead cockroach in the bottom, as a surprise for when a guest gets to the bottom of their coffee. He was very excited to try it on his friend. To each their own lol.
My mom used to make those kinds of mugs, with a surprise at the bottom, but with something cuter like a lil frog. A roach mug definitely appeals to a person's ridiculous, mischievous inner kid. Harmless fun, until the mug gets thrown against the wall.
This is gorgeously done, so much so that I'm afraid if someone tried to hand me this mug I would accidentally smack it to the ground 😅 Please be careful who you hand/show these beauties to lol!!
I have yet to hear from any customers about their piece meeting a violent end. Not yet...
This is so cute!!! 😍
Thank you!!
With different scarabs in those gorgeous metallic colors would be so awesome. We'd get a set of those!
The only scarab I have made is a dung beetle, with ball of dung of course. I have added gold luster, but have not tried any colorful metallics. That would look beautiful though!
How do I get my hands on this fantastic piece of art
Happy to hear you like it :) This mug sold a few years ago. I haven't made roach mugs for over a year. Perhaps I should make a few for my next batch...
