My Popular Zazzle Products November 2023

I recently opened a couple of Zazzle stores to sell my pictures on a variety of products, and so far, while not selling anything, a number of views have been received on the items I have listed. I am offering my art and photos on a number of products, which include phone cases, tablet covers and sleeves, mouse and desk mats, bags, t-shirts, pillows, mugs, clocks, posters, postcards, photo enlargements, and downloads. I also allow all my designs to be transferred to other products of a person's choosing.

I thought it would be interesting to share a selection of 10 items here to showcase the different products currently available in my two stores.

Store 1 is Colins Picture Me Store, which offers a number of artworks and photos from areas outside my home county of Calderdale. The artworks can be of almost anything that took my fancy; please take a moment to go and have a look via the link in the side panel. The following 5 products are a small selection of what is available there.

Photo enlargement of a cityscape comic book style artwork.

Laptop sleeve featuring a space image of planets and a nebula.

Mouse mat with a drawing - artwork of a ghostly house ruin.

Pillow with a artwork of Beggar's Bridge, Glaisdale near Whitby I created based on a photo postcard. This is also available in colour.

Clicking any image will take you to the product pictured in another window. Each product design is transferable and is already available in a variety of different products in my store. I currently have over 350 products available in my Colins Picture This Store.

My second Zazzle store is Calderdale Unframed, where I offer my images of the Calderdale area on a variety of products for you to enjoy. The below products are a small selection of what is available in store.

A Glimpse into Calderdale's Past: Vintage Views

Ever wonder what your local area looked like decades ago? We've put together a fascinating video featuring 20 vintage images from at least 30 years ago, offering a unique peek into the history of Halifax and the wider Calderdale area of West Yorkshire.

This collection of photographs captures many notable landmarks and forgotten scenes that will surely spark some nostalgia. You'll see iconic spots like Wainhouse Terrace and the familiar grounds of The Shay Stadium. The video also includes a look at Thrum Hall Stadium, a place that holds many memories for local sports fans.

One particularly intriguing section features Lee Bank from a time after the Queensbury Railway had closed, but before the Lee Bank Tunnel and Viaducts were eventually removed. These images offer a rare chance to see these significant structures in their pre-demolition state.

Each picture in the video is clearly labelled with its place name, making it easy to identify these historical locations. It's a fantastic journey back in time, showcasing how much our towns and landscapes have evolved while still retaining their unique character.

So, if you're a local history buff or just curious about how things used to be, this video is definitely worth a watch!
