This little cup is a survivor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every maker knows that moment of “potter\u2019s heartbreak”\u2014the sound of a handle snapping off while a piece is still in its greenware stage. The handle didn’t make it through the build, but I couldn’t bring myself to give up on it. There was something about the cute round shape<\/strong> that felt too fun to toss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Masterpiece of\u2026 Manure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So I took a deep dive into the “Wait, did you actually paint that?” category. On one side, we have the main event: a very hungry spider<\/strong> eyeing a… well, a meticulously painted pile of dung. Yes, complete with flies – my tribute to the irreverent “gross-out” humor. It’s high-art meets the garden floor.<\/p>\n\n\n
