Can someone please send one back as faulty/not as described?

just to keep this thread going you understand?

Artistic types have been known for shoddy comms over the years.. especially so the ones that exhibit as much poetic romanticism as we see in Burts cartoons each month..

i managed to hand in my trite sixth-form poetry on time.
finding a word to rhyme with tyre is no excuse for being a lazy bast**d

so after all this is someone going to put up a picture of the finished article or what?

In the STW Awards, is there a category for ‘most tedious thread’?

They are probably all just realising the keyrings are not real silver and have just been wrapped in tin foil.

I’d he[a]rd that the delays were due to a directive by DEFRA restricting their movement except under licence and that it took ages to get the necessary paperwork and forms completed.

Maybe that’s why you’re now a photographer and not an artist or poet.. 🙄

So photographers cannot be artists?

I was fondly remembering the outraged letters in MBUK when Mint was [kind-of] killed off.

it’s not art unless there’s some colouring in.

i’m a published poet actually*. 🙂

*only 1 poem in an anthology not a whole weighty tome.

Limericks don’t count…

Comic strip drawer, an artist?

in the words of Jim Royle – “my arse”

Uplink.

Cartoons and animation are the best form of 20th and 21st century art.

I don’t know.. did I say that? Did I mean that..?

first one to come up with a limerick that encapsulates this thread gets a free keyring..

still no photo of the finished article?

This is not a tedious thread – it has the lot, including a happy ending for one and all! 😀 Apart from that bloke who does mint sauce who comes across as a bit of a berk but hey ho.

Apologies for the slightly shonky photos.

Toadstool cufflinks?

Slight resemblance to said sheep, nothing more.

That’s it ??!! Hours of my life wasted reading this thread, and in the end you were all mythering over some tupenny hapenny trinketary ??

Genius.

My god. They look nothing like the sheep!

Without wanting to piss on anyone’s chips, a whole fugging year for those, Oh my…

Nice use of the cheapest of brown paper though 😕

They are very nice ACTUALLY 😀

That’s a duck-billed platypus surely?

I’m sure I saw something similar skitter off the table and under my seat when I opened a Christmas cracker last Saturday. 🙂

I really do hope that those who have waited this long are really happy with them. Personally, I’m glad I dropped out when I found he was getting a coloured face.

Now we have RACIST on the thread!!!!

they don’t actually look like mint sauce, just some sheep.

may I ask how much you paid for some sheep cufflinks

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

Just seen the pics and I have to say, all this fuss for that

Now we have RACIST on the thread!!!!

Now this thread has everything.

I am sure the recipients are very happy….but….well…. *remembers advice that ‘if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all’ and leaves thread*

Mint FAIL!

Oops, goodbye… 😉

Coloured Duckbilled Platypuses!!

I rather like them, i didn’t order any but i’d be pleased if i did.

looking at those pics, I can see why he was in no hurry to send them out.

Flippin awful.

Mint Sauce my arse.

I like ’em. I ended up not ordering any because I was skint at the time, but they have turned out pretty much as I imagined them from the examples of other work that Jo emailed out. I would be happy, but very sheep-ticked off considering how long it’s taken.

I’m happy with them.
