Not
everyone wants a framed painting/drawing for their wall. Some people
like objects that have a dual purpose, in other words something
that is not just decorative. This is fulfilled by the mirrors (see
‘Creature cartoons’)
and boxes (see ‘Personalised
gifts’) but also by Artful Badger’s range
of painted porcelain.
Porcelain is
a wonderful surface to paint on as it is smooth and glossy. This
means that the picture painted is unaffected by a textured surface.

to the Magic Roundabout.
The porcelain
gifts include piggy banks, trinket boxes, small picture frames,
mugs, egg cups, bowls and plates. They are effective with both fine
art and cartoon characters. Porcelain items can be personalised
(see ‘Personalised
gifts’).
For example
a personlised piggy bank is a great gift for a new baby (especially
those with more unusual names such as Tayla, Madeleine, Camille
– borne out by our own experience of friends’ and relatives’
children). Popular designs
- including the child's name - are zoo animals, farm animals, teddy
bears, pets, horses, sea-life and mythical creatures. If you like
I can email you examples of my work.
Prices
Piggy banks
are between £16.00 and £25 depending on the level of
detail. Trinket boxes are usually £10 to £14. Small
photo frames are £8 to £10. Postage is extra and charged
at actual cost.
