Russian Mouse
I was quite excited with my current client from New York (USA) when today, during a shopping in Izmailovo craft market, we saw a booth where they sold computer mice painted according traditional art schools with pictures of personages from Russian fairy-tales. We spoke with an artist who was selling his works on the market and he told us that it is quite new "modern" idea and these really Russian mouses (made in China :-)) are on demand as a souvenir or gift. Price for this mouse is about 750 rubles ($25) and their customers have even options to bring their own computer mouse or keyboard, so that the artist can paint it within several days (depends on his availability and amount of orders) with a favorite design or picture for a quite reasonable price.
