Mug design

Badly drawn mug with a photo superimposed on it. I was just trying out the idea of what would work on a mug. I’m sure there are templates so you can see how things would work, but I don’t know which application is the best to choose? I think spoonflower and red bubble have them but I don’t know of there is a charge to use them. The pattern is a collage of a photo of my crocheted blanket, it was square so I had to draw curves so the top and bottom fitted into the shape. It might work?

Designer masks?

Some things are still being sold despite covid19. I think I could design some interesting patterns to use on masks (and bags and tee shirts perhaps). I’m good at choosing colours and creating patterns. Maybe it’s an idea I should persue with one of the the online sales sites. I think the tee shirt idea is probably better but you never know…..

I’ve always been shy of having a go, but I’m going to research the whole thing a bit more over the next month. I know of some sites, ebay, etsy, then redbubble, spoonflower and square share or something? It’s hard to navigate them all? Will they charge a lot of commission? How do you market things? I will learn.
