2017 Year of the Tankard

[Dreadhead]

I've been looking back through some of the things I have made this year (I've not posted as much as usual) and realised I really wen't rather crazy with making tankards.

Here are just some (but still not all!) of them, to celebrate the ancient art of drinking beer

The first three I made


I even got this one signed by Seasick Steve when I saw him in Bordeux


A few more early ones...


A gift for a friend in hard times




The third tankard for me...

A couple of lads in Australia wanted a tankard each to show their Scottish and Irish heritage

Here are some of the military ones I have done for expats








And finally last but not least, because it is my favourite, another tankard I made for myself which took a lot of design work

That's probably about two thirds, there are quite a lot I can't upload as i've either lost the pictures and some of your wives have ordered some, and they are probably sitting under your trees not to mention i'm currently working on another three to post out this week!

Goodness. I have never made one, though I keep on meaning to. I have made plenty of tumblers and shot cups though.

I like your spiral design. Having done celtic art I know how hard the spirals are.

 

[Muddypaws]

Wow! That's a lot of tankards. Your Celtic artwork is stunning, both in the design and execution.

Thank you both just finished another 3 today. And that's it for this year!
