Back to the wavy design in two shades of blue underglaze. It's supposed to evoke streams of steam rising from hot coffee.

From my newest edition of cups. Trying for a more geometric and less leafy appearance

Decorated with #speedballunderglaze but not fired yet. The colors will get much more vivid after firing.

Underglaze decoration applied to bisqueware. Next I'll coat these with a clear glaze, and I'll post the finished version once it's fired.

Little color test cups on the way because I bought some new underglazes. I'll post the finished version once they're fired.
