Here are some of the posters I've been designing lately with some of my own quotes/sayings mainly. I'll add more interesting quotes in the future, both by me and by others.

3D printing - Greek vase shapes
You've probably heard about 3D printing in the news.
It is an interesting technology, though still in my opinion more expensive than it would be for mass-produced items. However, it allows anyone to rapidly design (and, via various online services, also to offer for sale) any item that one can think of (and be able to design using a 3D program).
In general, anything that can be offered through a print-on-demand system I find interesting, since one does not need to produce a lot of items and keep stock in advance. That, in a way, is also a drawback, since the items tend to be more expensive (no mass-producing) and people usually have to go online to check for the products.
In any case, here are my first 3D designs I uploaded to an online service (Shapeways). They are based on the Greek vase shapes for holding, mixing and/or drinking wine.
This is a Dinos Vase (used for wine mixing)
This is a Krater (Bell shaped) Vase (used for wine mixing)
This is a Krater (Column shaped) Vase (used for wine mixing)
This is a Krater (Calyx shaped) Vase (used for wine mixing)
This is a Psykter (used to cool wine) - without side openings
This is a Psykter (used to cool wine) - with side openings
This is a Skyphos vase (version A) - a wine cup
This is a Skyphos vase (version B) - a wine cup
This is a Skyphos vase (version C) - a wine cup
Melting Colors - free ebook update
Hello.
Since the first edition in 2013, my free ebook "Melting Colors" has been updated periodically.
In addition to poems selected from my other books, a 'Thoughts' chapter was added in May 2013 (and updated in successive versions). With the latest update I added a new chapter: "Short poems" that, for the moment, contains haiku poems (but may contain other short poems in the future).
To get the book go here (available for free in various formats, such as epub, pdf, kindle, txt, rtf, etc):
