Just past 15% of the gallery teacups are thrown! Woohoo![1]
Cup number 50 is for “Edgar Allan Poe: Collected Stories and Poems Illustrated”, a satisfyingly hefty and pretty volume which I have shamefully neglected to actually read ever since receiving it from my brother one Christmas.
I’m not sure quite what I want to do with this cup, yet, so I’m keeping it under plastic until I’m sure my plans don’t include anything best done whilst green. Maybe I should sit down sometime this weekend and get to know the book from whence it sprang.

You could go with a raven or a pit/pendulum thing or a tell-tale heart…. But those would have to be done well to be interesting.
