Fun facts:
From the humble 2-ounce espresso cup to the Oversized Classic Mugs (20 – 25 ounces) This type of mug can hold enough black coffee to provide about 300 milligrams of caffeine. That’s a little less than your recommended daily intake.

Drawing Notes:
I wanted the angel to stand out on my mug so I added a half cell border around it. That little bit of empty space makes the angel more noticeable.

Row 9: full cell 2 times, OF [12356], GG [2356] six times, WITH [23456], L [123].
Row 9: space 1 time, D [145], G [1245] six times, F [124], A [1].
End design.
Drawing Notes:
This drawing is an exercise to show how things change with various small designs being added. This tree uses the same four rows as angel 03 but is one dot taller. This changes the row beneath our tree to a row of the contraction GG instead of full cells to maintain the gap between design and mug.
Unlike our angel 03, this tree is centered between cells on the vertical and is one cell wider. Our cutout remains the same seven cells wide but is shifted one dot at the edges instead of being full cell widths. This leaves less gap but with a tree it feels like plenty of room.
Our design has also been shifted one-half cell to the right. This makes the cup appear to be turned more to the right also.
Mug with Tree 01B

With thanks to Adam Barbee and Lena Hinkle.
Design is 10 rows, 16 cells.
Note: Full size picture is the last full page of this document.
Begin design:
Row 1: space 1 time, WAS [356], dots 235, G [1245] five times, GG [2356], HIS [236], dot 3.
Row 2: WITH [23456], V [1236], space 7 times, dot 6, full cell, dot 6, WAS [356], GG [2356], dot 3.
Row 3: full cell 12 times, G [1245], ER [12456], full cell, V [1236].
Row 4: full cell, Q [12345], G [1245] six times, ER [12456], full cell 2 times, space 3 times, full cell 2 times.
Row 5: full cell, L [123], space 2 times, AR [345], GH [126], space 2 times, dots 456, full cell 2 times, space 2 times, dot 6, full cell, L [123].
Row 6: full cell, L [123], space 1 time, AR [345] two times, GH [126] two times, space 1 time, dots 456, full cell 5 times, Q [12345].
Row 7: full cell, L [123], AR [345] three times, GH [126] three times, dots 456, full cell, Q [12345], G [1245] two times, A [1].
Row 8: full cell, L [123], hyphen [36] two times, AR [345], GH [126], hyphen [36] two times, dots 456, full cell, L [123].
Row 9: full cell, OF [12356], GG [2356] six times, WITH [23456], full cell, L [123].
Row 10: space 1 time, D [145], G [1245] six times, F [124], A [1].
End design.
Drawing Notes:
This drawing again shows how things change with various small movements. This is the same tree as in Mug with tree 01A but it has been centered on the mug one cell further to the left.
Our cutout remains the same seven cells wide. But by moving the tree by one cell, this makes the cup handle appear more at a 90-degree angle to the drinker.

Row 10: space 1 time, D [145], G [1245] six times, F [124], A [1].
End design.
Drawing Notes:
This Tree design is one row taller and one row wider. It is still centered between cells.
Our design has been shifted to the left to better center on the mug. The tree touches the boarder of the cutout on both sides, to leave a gap, the mug would need to be wider.
This is the largest design that would easily fit within the cutout area. If you want to try your own designs, braille one of the Mug-Outline patterns. We’d love to include your design.
