I could title this an escape into teacups. Autumn always brings the appeal of a drawing project on the blog – a month of penline drawings or flowered objects from the V&A. This year, more than ever, I want to refocus my mind away from the incessant and scary election palaver.
So, sourced from the Internet’s byways, I offer a selection of teacup encounters, planning to share them till Tuesday the 8th. (And daily on Instagram.)
Rather than fretting about what’s next in my real work (or for the country), I’ve loved being absorbed in thoughts of these comforting objects, as I sit under the circle of my desk lamp with pen, watercolors, and tea to hand!
her spirits rose... 
What a great escape! How interesting that Captain Cook should have such a flowery teacup. And Washington a simple and plain one with just a bit of gold. Nice project. Something to look forward to for the next two agonizing weeks.
Agonizing indeed! Ticked me that captain cook just “may have used”!
