This may be too niche an ask but...artists of the Fediverse, do you sell any of your warm and cozy work in the form of a desk mat? Do you ship to the UK?
Please slide into my comments with a link to your shop!
:boost_ok: Boosts appreciated because I have no idea how to tag this, thank you

@thegiddystitcher I have lots of prints, and some of them are on desk mats over on my Redbubble shop

@thegiddystitcher The FediGiftShop tag might be a good place to look, and perhaps ask this question.
@thegiddystitcher Hi!! I have some stock of this design , they're not aviable in my shop but we can talk in DMs about shipping and so if you're interested ^^
@thegiddystitcher I feel like there were some instances specifically for people selling handmade things. Definitely might be worth adding #HandmadeUK #handmade as tags
@jenni Thanks! I started overthinking whether people who use those tags to sell would actually be following the tags themselves, and it spiraled from there 😅
With apologies to everyone who already boosted, I shall add these and a couple more.
@thegiddystitcher I feel like even people who follow these might be the best people to point you in the right direction even if they do not make it themselves
@jenni Very good point that I somehow didn't think of myself. It's that sort of day lol
@thegiddystitcher oooh might have to pitch this to my aunt. She does great glass worktop savers with her animal artwork but I reckon a desk mat would also be great!
@Erased_Citizen If she takes you up on it, do send me the link! :D
@thegiddystitcher I'll get to work dropping hints. Mind you, she's moving a lot of her item production in house so I guess it depends on whether she can print on such things.
@Erased_Citizen Yeah that's the problem, plus even if you're doing print on demand the art needs to be so big for a good quality print.
I get why most don't offer them, but just hoping to get a couple of hits.
@thegiddystitcher I think she still does some things that go off to others to do. She always used to get cushions and blankets printed, which were great. Thing about my aunt though is that she's a perfectionist and wants control over the whole process, which I can't say I blame her, she’s very proud of her work
