Yes, I am using this adorable baby to shamelessly sell pots.\u00a0 The customer who sent me the photo gave me permission to use it under the stipulation that I “don’t turn it into one of those creepy animated baby commercials”.\u00a0 No problem.\u00a0 I’m barely competent at Photoshop software so I assure you this is as far as it goes.<\/p>\n

The above plate is a great example of how a good input can lead to a lovely gift item.\u00a0 All the words were written by the customer and my job was to simply put her idea on the plate.\u00a0 At first it seemed like a tall order, but the dinner plate size lends itself well to ambitious designs and this one was surprisingly easy to implement once I got working on it.\u00a0 The only thing I need to stress to those of you who want me to do things like this is that you need to think of the idea<\/em> because my brain kind of locks up when I’m asked to “do something funny about golf”, or whatever.<\/p>\n
