There was a secondary motive for our Christmas project. At the large extended family gathering, everyone had an unique cup. That solved the “Is that your beer or mine” problem.

I am also including some that did not make the final cut for our Christmas project. These have been reworked, and in some cases evolved to where the posted item bears almost no resemblance to the original. This is one of those.

The image size we needed to wrap the cups was closer to a square. I have resized the originals to fit the 16:9 ratio I use on this blog. The resizing in some combination of cropping, squeezing, stretching, and extending. But for the most part it remains true to the original.

For Christmas, my lovely and crafty wife Karen was printing images on glasses for gifts. She asked if I could create art that did not have a seam when wrapped around a glass. After giving it some thought and a lot of experimentation, we got it figured out. Only a few days past Christmas.

If you print this image, then roll it into a cylinder, the left and right edges match.
