My name is Madeline Mandato. I truly hope you enjoy the designs.  Having always enjoyed the escape and freedom of art, my work was born as a work of joy. 

Sipping from a coffee mug one morning while creating random drawings, I was dreaming that I was sitting on a front porch outside of a Tuscan farm.  I took that blank white coffee mug and placed one of the calligraphy  works onto that same mug.  Now that mug not only holds my important morning java but it carries a special meaning for me.   

It was then that Talmino was born.  From announcements, to gift items such as mugs, bowls, plates and even to capture a moment, it signifies something special.  Something personal and unique.  In a day where so many are seeking authenticity that is underscored by "organic" or "farm to table," my desire is to bring the same approach to your special moments and items.  Like a snowflake, it is unique and never the same.  

So, please let me know how we can make your occasion/sentiment/gift even more memorable. All art is my own, hand drawn and with you in mind.
