Custom Silhouettes

So, I'm back!  Sorry friends!  Between the holidays, the kiddo getting sick, Kyle and I getting sick and plain ole' getting caught up on things around the home I have had a blogging hiatus.  But, here I am ready to get back into the swing of things!


Recently, a friend noticed that I have a side profile silhouette of my son in our dining room.  She liked it so much (how flattering!) that she asked me to create some custom sihlouettes for her mother as a Christmas gift.  I couldn't show you all before what I was working on but now that it is post-Christmas time, here are the custom silhouettes I made:

Both pieces are 8x10's and were printed on high quality fine linen paper with archival print inks and matted with an 11x14 mat.  I liked them so much I thought I would share them with you.  Heck, I liked them so much I thought, "Hey, this would make a great gift!"  So, here are some options for those of you interested in ordering a custom silhouette for your loved ones....

So, if you are interested in ordering an image, here is what you need to do:

1.  Send me an image of your choosing, side profile or family members interacting.  The photos preferably need to be taken on a white background.

2.  Pick out the frame of your choice.  (if you pick out the ornate frame, no other decoration will be added)

3.  Select the shapes/decoration you want added.  Please tell me if you want the decoration at the top OR bottom of the frame or on both sides of the frame.  

4.  Select font and colors.  Also, select names you want to appear on the image.

5.  Send me all the above information in an e-mail to:  scmeadows1s@hotmail.com.  If you have any additional requests or questions please make them known in the e-mail.

SPECIFICS:

8x10 SINGLE PRINT (single person):  $20
8x10 DOUBLE PRINT (two people):  $25
Shipping fee:  $3.99
Each print is printed on fine linen paper with archival ink and matted to fit an 11x14 picture frame.   Please allow 1 week after you send your e-mail for me to process the order.  I will send you a proof in an e-mail once I am finished with the image.  Once the image has been approved, please allow 3-4 business days for shipping.  If you need the images sooner, there will be an additional fee of $5.00.

Payment is due upon ordering.

Well, there ya go!

More pics to come in the days ahead!

                    

Affordable Art Show

So, I recently submitted some art work to Sojourn Community Church (to find out more about Sojourn click here) for their Affordable Art Show that will be taking place during their Fall Festival (I will post more info on that later!).  Sounds fun, right?  Anyway, I found out today that my work was accepted!  Hooray!  Kyle and I are not members of Sojourn but we do LOVE the creative ministries they have at their church.  Plus, the entries were open to anyone, so why not?

Here is a peak at what I will be selling at the Art Show, which you MUST come to if you are in Louisville on Oct. 16th!!!!  Not only will there be art, there will also be LIVE music, FREE food, and kids GAMES.  As you can tell, I'm pretty pumped about this.





The large pieces are 12x16 and the small pieces are 6x8.  I got the idea to make these from looking through children's art in various places and finding it....cheesy?  I wanted to create something that could be fitting for a child's room but could also easily fit in another place of the home as well.  Each piece is designed and distressed by hand, so no two pieces are exactly alike.  The artwork is considered mixed media, consisting of: wood, acrylic paint, paper, matte medium and jute for hanging.  

So there you go!  I will try to get more artwork posted soon.

Here are the prices:

12x16 - $25  or 2 12x16 for $45

6x8 - $10 or 3 6x8 for $25
