Craft Mug

Usually, we love elegant nice things in our life. We just want everything to be beautiful and graceful, but however, sometimes we do appreciate crafts which are usually feels a little rough. Our censorious eyes are strangely attracted by these rough crafts, mainly for its creative energy and the ideas constructed inside its shape, I guess.

And here’s this a little creepy mug, it was named “Dear Van Gogh” mug after the famous artist Van Gogh. However frankly, the mug has nothing to do with Van Gogh but the concept is rather intriguing. Designed by Mike Mak, the Dear Van Gogh is a silicon mug that features an ear-shaped flexible handle. The handle feels realistic and could be twisted or pulled hard as you want.

It looks really funny, even a little creepy, and the ear looks so real that reminds me of VanGogh’s cut down left ear, which I know is very scary and kind of too much bloody for water drinking! But the idea of twisting it sounds like a perfect way to release your anger, and that feels quite VanGogh-ish! So if I may, I think the real VanGogh would love the “Dear Van Gogh” mug, if only he had that chance.
