Storytelling Gifts to Wear, Mail and Display
Think beyond framing. Your digital photo collage can be transferred to fabric (as photo purses or photo blankets); cardstock (as greeting cards or thank you notes), or plastic (as 3-D photo sculptures).
Home Decor: Legacy Pieces
Imagine taking your custom photo collage to the next level as a featured image on a “Remember Me” coffee table book about your life.
Wearable Art: Photo purses
What a great way to show off your photomontage — wearing a photo purse imprinted with your beautiful artwork. Because your photo is embedded into the fibers of the material, the result is a high quality image which won’t fade, peel or rub off and will last for decades. They have a whole line of handmade accessories in leather and wedding satin that are complete head-turners (from messenger bags and iPhone cases, to ties and playing cards).
Thank You Notes and Greeting Cards
Imagine – as a token of thanks or as a sympathy note – sending a highly personal piece of artwork composed from your photos. What a generous way to acknowledge simple human kindness. And in terms of holiday cards, Dreamscape cards definitely knock those studio portrait cards right off the mantle piece!
3-D Photo Sculptures by Photocutouts
Hang them. Or stand them. My good friend Al Stewart at Photocutouts takes the image file of your photomontage and turns it into an elegant, 3-D photosculpture. Al prints it on a dye-sublimation printer, a technique that not only produces the highest image quality, but also protects the print with a heat-applied clear coat, making it water-resistant and protecting it from UV light damage. They’re dramatic little sculptures, mounted on 3/16″ thick acrylic. Since there are two costs involved: one for the photomontage (paid to Art For Your Sake) and one for the greeting card (paid to Photocutouts), here’s what you do:
- Shop first. Place an order for a photo cutout or POPout (where the subjects are “popped” out from the background) on Photocutouts.com. This gives me a template size for your artwork, and also provides me with an order number.
- Next, go to my Order Now! page to purchase your photomontage. After your photomontage is finalized, upload the image file of your artwork to Photocutouts.com, along with your order number.
