Cuppa Sadness by Amy Crook
More blue! Yes, it’s been a very blue month, which I didn’t do on purpose — several of these are holdovers from previous months that I started previously and finished recently. It just sort of worked out that way.
This newest cuppa is a soft, greyish blue on a heavy, watery sort of shape, with drops of water falling from above like tears.
Silver paint adds some shimmer to the sadness, in the tag and around the rim, including the droplet-like ends of each little blorp.
Really, the saddest part about this cuppa would be trying to drink your tea out of the weird shape. Oops.

Above, you can see the shine of silver watercolor delicately gilding the edges of the cup and tag. Below, you can see the cup in a frame, ready to hold your sadness for you in its new home.
