Thread: Spode Cup

  1. #1

    Default Spode Cup

    Some English guy with the last name of Spode came up with this beautiful and ever popular design for tea cups.

    My version solely.

    Porcelain. Very translucent. If the contents are coffee it will be browner, if tea, the contents will be lighter brown green. Would be cool to see a larger size image Ron.

    Well, it is brown, but I made it less dark. Also, I can see from your link that I could do a little more work on the coffee part. Thanks Gary.

    larger, ok.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Ron - Coffee has a small amount of transparency, unless it is espresso. So it would have a slight gradation on the edges. Also, bubbles around the edge give the "just poured" look.

    By the way, Your French Horn has always been one my favorites.

    Thank you for the kind compliment.
    Ok, here is an attempt at the suggestions you made Gary. Don't think I quite achieved them, but maybe going back and messing with it later will result in some success.
    I, not happy with the shadow either.

    Yes, but it could have been done better.
