A coffee mug with a secret: US artist creates touching ceramics

Ceramic coffee mugs are designed and brought into reality by Colorado-based artist Brooke Knippa. Each piece looks pretty cute at the expense of baby animals.

A mug can be decorated with a hollow or a mink in which a small animal is basking. In Brooke's works, you can find foxes, squirrels, and rabbits.

And recently, the artist has added new themes to her works - birds, insects and fish. Now, owlets, flamingos, dolphins, whales and even butterflies are found on coffee mugs.

Each piece is tacitly subordinate to the object that is depicted on it. If this is a representative of the seas and oceans, then a blue mug with corrugation is a stylization under water. If it is a forest dweller, then the mug resembles a tree trunk or an earthen embankment.

First, the artist draws a sketch of the future mug on paper, determined with colors. And only then begins to create a ceramic product.

After finishing work on the mug, the American takes a photo of it and uploads the picture to her website or social network. She often accompanies this with a manufacturing guide. Describes how he prepares clay, paints and comes up with a sketch.

Any Brooke Knippa coffee mug is definitely capable of charging positive energy. It is enough to get it out of the cabinet, pour aromatic hot coffee and enjoy the moment.
