Coffee Mugs Are For More Than Coffee

Custom coffee mugs can do more than just serve you your morning Java. They can say things in public that you may not be able to get away with. People will read your coffee cup and may roll their eyes and smile or huff and turn away. But if you were to say the same thing in public, then all Hell breaks out.

Here's a few examples:

On the Road Again

Roving Craft Shop


EASY (Like A Sunday Morning!)

Is on the move again.  And this time the craft shop is in operation.  I'll be making crafts and personalized gifts wherever I stop.  I'll also be teaching free craft lessons.  Imagine not just ordering that special coffee mug for your loved one but actually making it yourself.  That will add just that special touch to your gift.  I will keep you posted where I am.  If you are in the area you can come out and take a free class.  If you're not in the area you will be able to order custom made items on the internet and I will ship them to you wherever you are (currently only in the US).

Mata Ortiz pottery

This is day two of my mexican excursion sponsored by the  Pink Store in Palomas Mexico.  this day took us to the town of Mata Ortiz where the principal economy is pottery making.  

Mata Ortiz is a small village in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, less than 100 miles (160 km) from the US-Mexico border. The community is one of the designated localidades (localities) in the municipio libre (municipality) of Casas Grandes, one of several such pueblos in a wide, fertile valley long inhabited by indigenous people. Mata Ortiz is located at the base of a mountain known as El Indio and on the west bank of the Rio Palanganas, a tributary of the Rio Casas Grandes. The ancient ruins of Casas Grandes are located nearby. As of 2010, Mata Ortiz had a population of 1,182.



This pot looks machine manufactured.  The symmetry of the pot.  The fine detail in the artwork.  The artist, 30 year old Karla Lopez Cota, who has been making pottery since the age of 16 demonstrated the patience need to paint the designs with strains of human hair.




Other pictures of the days activities are below.
