teapot 5

My mother bought this teapot for me when I was 10 years old. We took a trip to Princeton, NJ and my mother bought teapots for me and my two sisters. I chose this teapot because I liked the wavy edge around the lid. It reminded me of Mrs. Potts on Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. I did these in my Tombow brush pens but unfortunately this scan came out really bad and I’m not sure how I can improve the quality. For all the white parts I used the gray tone markers and it looks really cool if you look at it in person, but not in the scan.

    I like the way that the pot shape is a faint frame in the background to the more promenant image of the pattern.

    “It’s a guest! It’s a guest!
    Sakes alive, well I’ll be blessed!
    Wine’s been poured and thank the Lord
    I’ve had the napkins freshly pressed
    With dessert, she’ll want tea
    And my dear that’s fine with me
    While the cups do their soft-shoein’
    I’ll be bubbling, I’ll be brewing
    I’ll get warm, piping hot
    Heaven’s sakes! Is that a spot?
    Clean it up! We want the company impressed!” :-)
    The colors are really awesome – the drawing looks real enough to make one reach for the teapot and pour oneself a nice cuppa! FABULOUS job!

    I think it looks fantastic in the scanned image, so can only imagine how good it must look in person. :o)
