Three designs of thimbleberry mugs, including a small cluster of thimbleberries with the text adorned with flowers, a cluster of thimbleberries with a flower on a stem, and thimbleberries over the iconic leaf. Each design is available on 11 ounce and 15 ounce white ceramic mugs with pink handles and interiors. This is original art created by Todd based on photographs that I took picking thimbleberries on the Keweenaw Peninsula.

T-shirt with with large UP map with major islands, lakes, and rivers. The lakes and rivers are represented with negative area, that is without ink, creating a distressed look to the map, but each “crack” in the printed area represents an actual river. Todd meticulously created this map using Michigan Department of Natural Resources fishing maps, which accurately charts every lake and stream. Available in two blue options of Comfort Color 100% cotton unisex tees.

 

Black Bella+Canvas 3001U T-shirt with every lake and streams of the Upper Peninsula, creating a silhouette of the iconic map. For best printing results, the lakes and stream are printed with light blue ink over a black background, but the black ink fades into the fabric of the shirt. This classy design could be worn to a Yooper wedding. Todd meticulously created this map using Michigan Department of Natural Resources fishing maps, which accurately chart every lake and stream.
