Here's the one I did for the article, I've been dying to show it off for so long!!!

I hope a few of you lovely folks will pick up a copy and post your teacups!

ha i really wanted to talk about this! I really wanna try it. Sounds really cool! I'm so doing it! I don't usually do the DIYs in Shojo beat, but this one Really interested me! After all what Lolita wouldn't want their very own personalized tea-cup.

I'm so glad you guys like the little tutorial, i keep thinking about my next teacup!!!

On the limited edition teacup thing, I did find a place that will do small runs of custom china, and so wanted to get a set out for Xmas each year, I just wasn't sure if people would be interested. I'll have to look into following up on it all now?

I'm so glad you like it! I really want to have a tea party so I can bring out the custom cups! (though I'm not supposed to be acquiring any more teacups, personalized or otherwise :()

(though I'm not supposed to be acquiring any more teacups, personalized or otherwise :()ya! i actually have made some designs i hope to but on the cup. I drew out a couple of nice detailed lolis. I'm really excited to do it!

oh you're not? why? tea cups are so great! I don't really have any, but I asked my aunt to leave me her tea cup collection (which has some GORGEOUS Hand made tea-cups) in her will. Well actually she asked me what I wanted, I hope my aunt doesn't die though. I'd rather have her then tea-cups.

I loved the teacup! I want to try and make one for me and one for my mom, because she's always loved teacups and teapots. :D

my collection is kinda HUGE right now, and since the whole point was to have an amazing tea set I've started working on other parts of the set, like a silver teaspoon for every cup! I'll probably still pick up the odd one if there's one that is totaly to die for though!

Most department stores carry lenox like the one I used, you can also find lots in antigue shops and on ebay!
