If you know me, you know I LOVE a good collab! Collaborating with another artist is as beautiful as it is challenging.

Beautiful in that you are creating truly unique pieces highlighting each other's work in a new light. And challenging in the fact each piece is a one of a kind in design, sizing and esthetics. Each collaboration take us out of our comfort zone to test ideas before landing on the perfect one.

And though you won't ever know the total hours spent ruminating over what colors to use, size to make, or tools incorporate, trust me when I say, you will FEEL the energy when you hold one in your hands. Whether it be sipping a whiskey by the fire with friends, or savoring a coffee at your favorite spot this mug just might be your new favorite.

It is always a joy to work with Kim of Alpine Earthworks Pottery, and I can confidently say she knocked it out of the park on this one with these internal carvings!

I remember when I was a kid, I had this mug with a little bear on the bottom, and I can't tell you how excited I got to see that little bear show itself the closer I got to emptying the mug. There was something about the anticipation, the unveiling that got me everytime!

Spoiler alert, we don't have any bears, but there's cacti, mountains and flowers of all varieties, and I am here to tell you, these are hands down the coolest tumblers around or ever?! (yes, a 100% biased opinion)

The patience and skill of Kim's internal carvings is SO impressive (like how the hell did she carve and glaze these flowers individually?!)

So go ahead, embrace your inner child and imagine how exciting it will be to uncover these flowers as you sip your latte.
