This is the first new mug design i've made since TC went down. Someone i follow on Instagram posted this picture and i had to turn it into a mug. (This is the third mug i've made based on a pic posted on IG). This carving is found outside the crafts market on Rapa Nui. It wasn't until i posted pics of the mug that someone commented that the image is based on a natural rock formation on the island called Vai a Heva, so the mugs name is 'LJ' (Vai a Heva). LJ is the initials of the person who posted the original photo. https://moevarua.com/en/legend-of-vai-a-heva/ Now correct me if i'm wrong but i believe that this might be the first mug where you drink from the top of it looking straight down on the image but it is displayed on its side. Even if it isn't and i'm wrong, not many of these have been made as at the end of the day i make the mugs i want to make because they appeal to me, and although i do get a lot of positive feedback, people don't seem to be interested in this sort of imagery these days. Oh well, here's just a few examples of the different glazes i have made of this design. Second new mug design next update. Cheers swiz [ Edited by swizzle on 2022-05-13 18:09:15 ]
