(Hmm, havenвЂ™t sketched the matching cup yet during this project) I paired it with the 100 years 1980вЂ™s plate.

This is possibly the most popular pattern out there so itвЂ™s a little clicheвЂ¦ but oh, so much fun to sketch. On Friday I broke the theme just simply because I had a piece of cakeвЂ¦

The original 100 years cups were bought using gift vouchers.

This cup (T2 Mystic Carpet Ride вЂ“ Sapphire) was bought using a gift voucher from a lovely participant of our Palladian Odyssey tours вЂ“ thanks N! It was a busy day so this was all that I could manage. This is a really fun pattern to sketch loosely.ДЄ loose and watery version of a fine detailed paisley design. This is a plastic cup that was bought by Marji in Chicago (thank you!) so I could use it for a demo at the Urban Sketchers Symposium. Thanks SteveвЂ¦ IвЂ™m happy that I safely managed to get it home in one piece. My only German teacup(Royal Bayreuth) вЂ“ a gift from Steve in the Bay Area. It was a real treat to get this out of its storage box and use it last week. This cup has a very distinctive shape (requiring that you hold it at a weird angle so that you can drink out of a long side) and is made of very fine china. My second most precious cup and one that I love very much вЂ“ Shelley Trees and Sunset. For some reason, IвЂ™m yet to do a sketch that does it justice. You can see other versions of this cup here.ДЄ gift from the Tea Centre store in Sydney вЂ“ Jardin Peony by Ashdene. This cup has a very plain saucer so I used the pattern on the plate and made an improvement to the design. The first fine china teacup that I was gifted from my friend V вЂ“ Hong Kong Blue by Coalport. Moonlight Roses by Royal Albert which belonged to my Auntie Lexie. Keep reading for some of my ideas and a question for you! IвЂ™m wanting to have a few more themed weeks while this current Sydney lockdown lasts.

There are more gifts than what I was able to get through last week, but it was a fun theme as it made me think of people and events. The trip of a lifetime is at your fingertips.Last week I used the theme of Gifts to help me decide which teacups to use and sketch.Д«y gifts, I mean cups that have been given to me, including teacups I inherited from relatives who have passed away. nz gets you the best offers on where to stay in Pyrmont so you donвЂ™t have to waste endless hours searching online.
