I’m creating a Facebook Group dedicated to antique Scottish Bo’ness pottery figures.
https://t.co/x6ORucPG8x
The group is intended to provide a resource for identification - and a place for members to upload photos or ask questions.

It goes without saying that these days every pool league and organisation should have its very own promotional song!
So I've put this together (on Facebook) for the famous Dunfermline & District Pool League (DDPL)...

@AmazonUK .... plus Hostas don't grow from bulbs 🙄

[Bill Hunter @billhunter]

@AmazonUK On the subject of scams....

Hosta plants do not come in those colours and you'll notice that the very same original photo has been used with the colours manipulated.
This is just one of several similar scams on Amazon UK.
You may want to look into this? 😃

[Bill Hunter @billhunter]

@AmazonHelp Thank you... but having reported the problem here I'll leave it to you to sort out which I'm sure you'll be anxious to do.

I'm not sure if I should admit to making these?
Oh well, here goes...

This slightly weird Staffordshire figure was made around 1860. It's a little damaged so I'll be attempting some restoration. It consists of Uncle Tom & Little Eva from the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by the American author Harriet Beecher Stowe.

The Staffordshire "beesums" vendor was owned by my grandparents.
I recently bought the sand seller.
Both date to around 1870.
Figures include animals, artisans, royalty, politicians, military folk, literary characters, notorious criminals, etc.
So now I'm on the lookout for more!

I've finally found an audience for my puns and cartoons.
They could come to regret it.

Another AI generated image using DALL·E 3 and textual prompts.
It's easy to spot the flawed rendering but the process is rapidly improving.
It won't be long before images like this will be indistinguishable from real pool team photos.

They were initially created using DALL-E 3, although most required a good deal of additional editing using online software such as Canva.
Further images are regularly added.
