Art by Claire Mackaness!

[RedArc]

I thought I'd treat myself to a Claire Mackaness `Aquarium' Mug and Mousemat which I've received this morning. I just wanted to say they look fantastic. If you haven't taken advantage of Claire's offer, then I suggest you do! I can highly recommend.

:idea: As Claire gets more famous, her work has the chance of becoming collectible, so it could be a good investment.

Claire ... regarding the interior design market for your artwork ... have you looked into getting some of your abstract designs made into fabrics for cushion covers, curtains etc? Imagine a Claire Mackaness canvas on your walls with matching cushion covers and curtains. It's something to think about.

Nice testimony.

Some say we product art too. Although no galleries have asked to buy anything yet ;)

[RedArc]

Tom ... Web design is art! You never know, your work could end up in the Tate one day! :)

Thanks for the nice testimonial Carol, glad you liked them.

Fabric.....hmmm, not though about that one, but could well be an option. I'll have a chat with some of the interior designers I know and see what they think.

The latest thing I'm up to is hopefully working with Magical image to produce ceramic tiles/murals of my art.

Just a reminder, if anyone wants items with my paintings on, pick a painting from the website and you can have your item at cost prices (the reason behind this is so I can get piccies and post them up to re-sell)

Reminder of prices:

Mousemats £5.42
Coasters £7.30
Mugs £5.50
Bags £7.00

Carol, this would be a fine adjucnct to the quilt covers Claire was tempting us with late last year. The purple bunch of grapes being used on Claire's banner would make a fine introduction :wink: .

HI Claire, hadn't looked properly at your site till now, those qwhite bags you have, you knwo they are coming back in fashion, loads of brands are doing them and seeing them poppng up all over London on the shoulders of lovely ladies, have you thought about trying to get a stal in Covent Garden, you know the undercover market type thingy, sure you would get a lot of sales there.

P.S. Where's the lovely avatar gone?!?!

[Urban Space]

Lol she's ditched it for a logo! :lol:

[UK2004]

When you're that beautiful your face makes a very good logo............

[Urban Space]

Men :roll:!

[clairemackaness]

Thanks UK2004, covent garden is a great idea, but my bags are made to order. sadly I cant afford to carry stock.

My picture was changed as it was too large, so I've gone down the traditional route.

[VeryMark]

Shame!

P.S. Where's the lovely avatar gone?!?!

Hi UK,
I can send you one if you like! I saved it :)
Cheers, Nigel

[clairemackaness]

If you miss it that much spend some time on my website, its on all the menu links!

[UK2004]

It's true though, say you're Helena Christensen you opena business you chuck your face in as logo, that pic was appealing at the end of day you just wanna draw you're customers in hence me getting page three girls to hand out my fliers ine central London, yay!

Nige, if Claire doesn't mind you sending it that would be appreciated!

[fastfences]

Nige, if Claire doesn't mind you sending it that would be appreciated!
Claire's got no say; she made it 'public property' by launching it on here :wink:
Cheers, N

[UK2004]

Hehe but I'm a gentleman so I'd always ask her permission first. My email to send it by the way is sales@topbrandclothing.co.uk many thanks.

[VeryMark]

Sorry, Nigel, you're wrong.

Claire, do you need a copyright lawyer lol?

[Jayne]

Shame on you boys, get the Sun paper if you want to ogle :lol:

Jayne

[clairemackaness]

As I mentioned earlier, theres no need to flyer my face around on e-mail its on my web site on all of my pages! LOL

You guys are so sad, go and ogle and your wifes/girlfriends and if you dont have one, then that says it all really doesn't it!

[fastfences]

Sorry, Nigel, you're wrong.

Claire, do you need a copyright lawyer lol?

Just when you think you're safe, up pops Crossguard :evil:
Cheers, Nigel :wink:

[clairemackaness]

Yeah! Just sold a mug on eBay!

[Coding Monkey]

Geeez, what a turnaround on a thread. Not even I would have been capable of this.

[clairemackaness]

Well I have tried to get it back on track without promoting myself! LOL

[UK2004]

Ladies love compliments even if they don't admit it! hehe.

Claire get a loan and get you're stall in Covent Garden, I spent enough time around there at 14-17 to know your bags would sell very well they love that stuff.

[clairemackaness]

I think they might with some of my abstract designs on them, but the current ones are really only popular with Clarice Cliff fans.

A loan with my credit rating? You've got to be kidding! I let an ex run off with all the creditworthyness I ever had and it's taking me ages to get it back. Warning to all you new relationship people.....keep your money and your credit to yourselves!
