Blaptica dubia. A roach we hold near and dear to our hearts. A good roach. Inspired by William Blake and "illuminated" in his style, right down to the copper plate we dunked in corrosive liquid to slowly cause hidden images and words to make themselves almost magically appear as the copper around them dissolves. Then we use that plate, now with the image you see on the mug, to make a print with our printing press we built ourselves. Then we hand-watercolor it (or not, depending on what we're printing). It's called relief printing, and it ain't easy.
This beautiful ceramic mug is perfect for any event of the day. Your morning coffee, a hot chocolate, or any other hot beverage you enjoy. The mug is glossy white with a colored rim, inside, and handle. The prints come out beautifully and vividly on it. The print retains its quality and luster when used in both microwaves and the dishwasher.
