Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
My wife embellished this travel mug for Independence Day but since today is Flag Day, I wanted to post it.
She attached the rhinestones individually. One by one. I watched her do most of it. Took her about 2 months. I’m glad she has a hobby that she enjoys.
Happy Flag Day!

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
That is a very nice piece of functional art. I don't know how nimble your wife's fingers are, but I would have to have used a pair of tweezers for those rhinestones......and the end product would look amateurish not professional like yours.Railsplitter wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2026 5:42 pm My wife embellished this travel mug for Independence Day but since today is Flag Day, I wanted to post it.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
That is beautiful work Rick, tell her we are all proud of her talent also. My wife did some beadwork that went on a template to make a picture. They really look pretty good.Railsplitter wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2026 5:42 pm My wife embellished this travel mug for Independence Day but since today is Flag Day, I wanted to post it.

I'm not usually a big fan of stuff like that but if more looked as good as that maybe I would be. That came out VERY nice.....your wife is a real pro at her craft, Rick

Your wife did a fantastic job. I looked at the pictures. Not only the work itself. The planning/design going around the mug. The way the Flag looks folded on the back side. How your better half/ those people see that and apply it is amazing.

Thanks, Phil. I couldn’t do it either. I’d get 10 rhinestones on there and give up.

On our way home from dinner and God has blessed us so greatly.
I know the pictures will not do it justice.
Not only one but a gorgeous double rainbow with both in total sight.
