A bit of a new venture…A new arty crafty shop has opened in the village…it was the butchers.    They have Sam's (waggy)  tales of course and my cards, I have found I can paint small things in ur , plus a small couple of paintings. BUT I have discovered I can have my  pics printed onto mugs nd they work ok .  I did quite a few at Christmas time and filled them with goodies .   So am now going to see what Mrs Public thinks of them…  These are just four of my designs.

They look really good Sylvia, I’m sure they will sell well people do like individual things like this for presents etc . Do let us know how it goes , I’m sure Sam will become more famous than he is now , hopefully he won’t get illusions of grandeur.

They look absolutely gorgeous and will make beautiful and also practical gifts, especially filled with something good. Bottom right is my favourite. Do keep us informed how this goes, I am so pleased for you as it is a way of keeping your creativity alive.

Your mugs look first rate Sylvia.   A couple of years ago, the photobook company that I use made a ridiculous offer on printed mugs.  It was too good to miss, so I had a few made.  The problem was I could not cover the whole mug with my pictures, when I tried increasing the size on the app to create the mug it wouldn't let me do it...here's a few of the resulting mugs... ...you'll see only part of the mugs are covered with the designs.  So I was disappointed with them. Yours are so much better, and I love the designs you've made.  Did you use paintings made especially to fit the mugs, or, like me, use some existing pictures?  I had a few long drawings that should have gone all round the mugs, when I tried those I had a very thin picture around the middle of the mugs.  I haven't bothered since.   But yours look so good maybe I'll look for another maker.

Well done Sylvia, they look great and your new arty crafty shop sounds wonderful. Also Lew, they may be collectors items in the future, and welcome back!

Thanks every ongreat.    No I didn’t paint them especially I used previous paintings and cropped them.   Have a look at snap fish ,I always wait until they have offers.   You should be able to fill all of the surface apart from a bit by the handle.
