The Gathering Colourful Songbirds Patterned Mug

Here we have a gathering of beautiful, colourful songbirds. Why have they gathered? Perhaps they’ve met up before flying south for the winter … or maybe their mutual presence is just a highly unusual sight. (After all, in real life, these birds would almost certainly never be all together in the same area!) Either way, who doesn’t like the sight of such beautiful birds? Whenever you feel you need a break, a little quiet moment with a comforting beverage, let these beautiful birds add to that comfort. Flips of the image feature on either side, and the rest is filled with patterned repeats of greenery, and of course further, tiny birds. (When the central bird is facing right: Going clockwise, starting in the upper-left corner and finishing in the centre, the featured birds are: male Eastern Bluebird, female Painted Bunting, Cedar Waxwing, male Northern Cardinal, male Purple Martin, male Pine Warbler, male Red-Winged Blackbird, female Northern Cardinal, male Varied Thrush, and male Painted Bunting.) (Image source hand-drawn in coloured pencil; copyright © 2016 Darren Olsen in all copies, depictions, and modifications.) Make it your own! Suggestion: Customise by shrinking, expanding, or moving any of the three images in order to find your personally most-comforting view. (Keep in mind, the repeating background image is tiled by default. You should be able to find it in-between the two main images. And if so desired, tiling may be turned off by selecting the image, then clicking the gear icon and unchecking ‘Tile this Image’.) Style Options: Great as a ringer mug (and perhaps the lime is the ideal colour for the rim and handle), but how about as a two-tone or even just the regular? See what you think, and pick your favourite!
