slip 'em some tongue!



(mugs by Gary Rith)
I posted yesterday, just below, a video of me throwing a mug body. This is what I was making, after the mug was half dry you add can eyes, handle etc. I have made monster mugs before, which have fangs and all, but I was thinking why not just ordinary teeth too? With a tongue at the bottom ;^)

They remind me of mustache cups they used to make. They had a small shelf at the top of the cup to prevent the mustache from getting wet or stained from the drink in the cup.

Gary, these are my favourites. AMazing.

Those would look really cool with a nice frothy beverage like a Latte. That way they would be foaming at the mouth!

Cute, but a little scary. LOL. That would make a great present and great conversation starter.

I can't imagine drinking out of the cup and then seeing the tonque.

I am going to start my "real" blog in the next week, and I live about 10 minutes from Ron and visited Doug in England this summer. I am glad to meet a great member of the pottery blog community.
