9cm (3.5in) tall, 8cm (just over 3in) diameter.
I bought it from a charity shop and improved it. It’s a bit like the way I draw on photographs, except I drew on a mug instead.
I drew on the mug with porcelain pens, so the added markings are dishwasher safe. This mug *seems* to be dishwasher safe, but I don’t know how to tell for sure.
6cm (2.5in) tall, 8.5cm (almost 3.5in) diameter at the rim.
I bought it from a charity shop and improved it. It’s a bit like the way I draw on photographs, except I drew on a mug instead. This one is a bit vintage, with faded gold around the rim. Please note the discolouration in the last photograph, where (I think) the handle has been expertly reattached. I’ve also photographed the mark on the base, in case that’s useful.
I drew on the mug with porcelain pens, so the added markings are dishwasher safe, though I think this mug probably isn’t dishwasher safe because of the gold around the rim. (I’m not 100% sure though.)
Edit: Sold! Oh, I am going to be sad to see this lovely thing go!
Edit again (July 2016): It feels weird to change a post about a past art piece, somehow. But I wanted to let you know that the Stalker and the Stalker’s Cat have been renamed to the Reporter and the Reporter’s Cat.

Edit: Claimed by Ryn, who cannot donate, so donations to cover postage and materials still much appreciated.
I made some more, and they are basically identical to the last ones but about 1.5cm longer at the wrist-end, so I am going to copy and paste the info from the other page, thusly.
These handwarmers are 75% wool, 25% nylon for strength. They’re machine-washable. For yarny types, I used dkKnits technicolor dream toes hand-dyed sock yarn. The colours are a little warmer than the photo because I don’t know how to use a camera; they remind me a bit of the Fruit Salad chewy sweets of my yoof, hence the post name, but these are a lot more greener than the sweets were. I’m not cut out for this description/naming thing.
They were made in a pet-free, smoke-free environment.
The yarn cost me about £2. They took me about 7 hours to make (minimum wage in the UK is £6.19). Postage will cost me up to £2, depending on where in the world you are.
If you would like these handwarmers, you should do two things:
I will happily send the handwarmers to you even if you don’t give me any money.
If you’d like to help contribute to the running of Poly in Pictures, the making/sending of these handwarmers for someone you’ve probably never met, and also my life, please feel free to donate using the button to the top right of each page.
Thank you for your time. 🙂
