A little story on this cup…I had a studio in Bellingham about 10 years ago. It looked out over the Puget Sound. One day I looked out the window and imagined I saw a little chicken heading out to sea in her small wooden dinghy.
I asked myself, “Where is that happy chicken going….?”,“Off to a place where the fairies know her name” popped into my head as the answer.
I began drawing the chicken on her ocean voyage…upon various forms of transportation…one cup had her traveling via swan boat. Since then, it has been her favorite mode of travel.

The Spark Cups are my painted poems upon a cup, with a bit of wonder and kindness stirred into the art for good measure.
In the spirit of Charles DeLint’s words, “touch magic, pass it on”, I hope my time in the realm of makers and poets, where I forge a bit of myself to the great body of collective work, is carried to you upon a cup. May whatever it stirs in you be passed on down the line.
Like prints of a painting, the cups that make up my “Lucky Cup Line” are faithful reproductions of my originals. Designed in my Washington State studio, made in Thailand in a facility that meets European standards for people and the planet.
The wares are food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, as well as family and café proven strong. Third party tested for food safety..
- Fairy Name Spark Cup #202
- Diameter 3” Height 3.5”
- Size: Large (9 fl. oz.)
- Art on all sides.
- Comfortable to hold with a unique thumb divot.
- Your hands deserve to be happy holding this cup!
Useful Care Instructions:
The bottom of the cups is porous and will absorb water during washing. It is best to make sure it can dry upside down completely before putting away, thus allowing all the water to evaporate from the cup to keep it in pristine condition.
