Just a little bloglet (like a piglet?!) to let you know that I’m feeling generous and would like to give away THREE personalised large (40x40x4 cm) canvases to three different winners!

All you have to do is to:

1) subscribe to this blog (button on the right)

2) write a comment under the *COMPETITION TIME* update on the Name Art facebook page www.facebook.com/nameartfanpage

If you would like an extra entry you can:

3) comment on this blog post

4) tweet ‘Fab comp by @charisnameart http://www.nameart.co.uk/blog/2012/04/10/competition/ pls RT’

Because it’s a bit of a ‘biggie’ this competition will run right up until May 13th (a year anniversary of my rather fabulous Tesco experience!)

Three winners will be picked at random and their names will be announced on the blog. The prize design can be any design available on the Name Art website with any name inside it. My decision is final.

Good luck and happy facebooking/tweeting/following and commenting!

What a thoughtful gift…a personalised Name Art mug full of eggs?! Many designs available – dinosaurs, fairies, twitter #addicts, diamond jubilee to name but a few! Much better than all that awful packaging that the shops provide!! Order soon, mugs take up to a week to create…especially in busy times.

Take a look http://www.nameart.co.uk/store/Name_Art_Mugs.html

Thank you for looking,

An idea…

I have had an idea and I’d like your thoughts on it, please leave a comment below to let me know what you think.

I am wondering whether to start offering my personalised designs as a digital file rather than as a finished canvas or print.

The process would be very similar…

1) You’d choose the design you like from the website, let me know the name you’d want in it and a personal message for the bottom (or a date of birth for the corner). This would all be smooth and easy on the website.

2) You would enter the size you want the image…this could be anything…so you could buy the frame first or measure the space for a canvas and the measurements would be your own choice…they could even be rectangle rather than square.

3) You would pay for the design on the website…it would be just £25 – regardless of finished size.

4) I would email you a small jpg proof of the image which you would then approve (as I do now). In this email exchange you can also confirm the size you would want to receive your file.

5) I would then email you the file and you’d take it to a local printer (who could advertise on my site?) to get it printed and fitted into your frame or made to the canvas size you require.

I so often have people requesting different sizes or trying to find frames…I thought it could be a really good solution for the customer.

I thought it also supports small, local printers and…

…it puts my focus back on designing rather than all the logistics of printing.

I’m sure there are lots of on-line printers that one could also upload a file to.

But what do you really think? Please tell me below…!

P.S. Mugs and tablemats & plaques would still be available as they are now :)

P.P.S Maybe there is an on-line solution for printing that I can direct people to if they can’t get to a local printers…
