MandO – Handmade In Greece – You Name It She Paints It

Mando, doing what she does best: creating!

Who’s that girl?

It’s Mando, my good friend and artiste extraordinaire, you name it, she paints it; murals, unique coffee mugs, t-shirts, children’s toy boxes and growth charts, Easter candles and wooden Christmas decorations and more.

Mando says; “Don’t judge me…unless you have looked through my eyes.”

Do you have an idea of your own but you’re no Picasso?

Mando will save the day, portraits of children and pets, your treasured belongings uniquely personalized, ask and Mando will deliver.

Below is only a small sample of Mando’s original work, to see more and to order from Mando, visit her website and Facebook page, links and contact info at the end of this post, she delivers worldwide.

Much of Mando’s unique work has been exhibited at the The Teloglion Fine Arts Foundation of Thessaloniki, Greece.

Mando may have studied art, but, her talent is natural, inherited from her mother; Maria Papadoniou, a brilliant and noted artist herself.

Mando can put her hand to anything, keep on scrolling and you shall see for yourselves, I particularly love this piece of wall art which adorns Mando’s atelier in Corinth, strategically created by chipping away plaster to create an amazing portrait of Marilyn Monroe.

The one and only Marilyn, and, of course, the one and only MandO

Unique hand painted personalised T-shirts by MandO

Make a statement, send a message, tell someone you love them, let people know who you are, be you by wearing one of Mando’s eye catching T-shirts, there’s something for everyone.

Available for babies, toddlers, children, men and women.

Mando uses only the best quality paints for her work, paints that will not run or fade through washing, even in a washing machine, I can guarantee that, I’ve washed her works of art many times; they are as fresh as the day she painted them.

Wash “n” Wear

No little detail has been forgotten.

See how beautifully the T-shirts are presented?

The packaging is as unique as the T-shirts themselves.

Only to be expected; Mando is herself the very essence of diversity!

Original, one off, hand painted mugs by M.and.O

Mando’s no mug when it comes to expressing herself, send a message, tell someone you love them, show your appreciation to that special person in your life, can’t say it face to face, say it on a mug, put a smile on their face.

Great gift ideas for everyone.

Who loves ya baby!

I loved you yesterday, I love you still. I always have… I always will.
