Peeping Tom’s Cottage sprang to life from the innovative spirit of a seasoned elementary school teacher with 28 years in education. This teacher seamlessly integrated his passions for art and storytelling into his teaching. The acquisition of an industrial-level UV printer for a project revealed the potential to transform ordinary items into vibrant works of art, inspiring him to venture into the small business world.

The whimsically named shop owes its title to Tom (AKA Larry), not a creeping man but an orange female cat who oversees the creative process with watchful eyes from her perch in the workspace. This charming online store now serves as a canvas where education, creativity, and the joy of storytelling merge, offering uniquely adorned items that each carry a tale of their own.

What the Product Pictures Don’t Show:

No, the tiles aren’t transparent (even though some look like stained glass)—they actually start out as ceramic tiles like those found on bathroom walls. The method I use to apply layers of ink and clear gloss creates a definite sense of depth—usually a minimum of 5-8 layers—and the colors can be exceptionally vibrant if the design calls for it. Many of my product reviews begin with the statement: “It is even more beautiful in person….”.
