This year I made mugs for gifts. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of all of them before I gave them away. I was too anxious to get them wrapped, especially since I celebrated an early Christmas last weekend with some members of my family.
I still have trouble compensating for the shrinkage of the clay though. So I feel that most of them were too small. My favorite one is the individual mug in the third photo. It is a nice big bowl shape. Perfect for hot cocoa with plenty of room for lots of marshmallows!
Happy Holidays!!!
Those are lovely! I always had problems with calculating the shrinkage too. But it turns out ok, I never manage to finish my 1st cup of coffee anyway!
ReplyDeleteThat was my favourite too especially because of its beautiful handle!AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking out of the one on the far right in the first picture right now! I love my new mug, thanks sis!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Glad you like it bro! I think that one had the nicest glazes on it.
ReplyDeletehave a good holiday with lots of hot chocolate(and maybe something stronger too)
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that the ear (is that what the holder part is called?) is just the right size for fitting three fingers to hold it with. AND the lip is just the right size. I'm very fussy about my mugs and my gift mug was perfect.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Laura! Hope you have a lovely day. your mugs are gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteLovely mugs, that is also my favourite. Been away from blogland for quite some time. You have been very busy, I do wish you would open an online shop so I could buy your nuts and mugs and well there is so much I would love to buy. Hope you had a great christmas
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I'm so impressed. I like the 3rd photo too. Love the shape of the cup.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about them being on them being on the small side. Keeps the drink from getting cold.
Happy New Year!
