...weddings...

Give the most original and meaningful gift...

tell us about the wedding arrangements, venue, dates, colours etc... also about the bride & groom, their hobbies & passions... we will produce a stunning canvas reflecting the couple’s special event.

We often find it useful to have the wedding invitation, a photograph of the couple, dress fabric (if possible)....the more we can work from the better, as such things can be cleverly incorporated into the artwork. We can also feature the wedding date, the names of the bride & groom and any other appropriate wording into the composition.

The more personal it is, the more the happy couple will love it!

Above: May 2008 The wording on this commission was taken directly from the invite, and the image is inspired the beautiful architecture of the Polish wedding venue.

Above: August 2008 This commission reflected the groom's passion for his motorbike and their love of coffee!

...christenings...

Give a unique lasting christening gift...

Why not commission a canvas incorporating the child's name and relevant dates? This can be co-ordinated with the child’s bedroom and your chosen theme. It is possible to include relevant fabric, wall-paper or even small sentimental items.

...canvas streetscene...

This is the perfect gift guaranteed to raise a smile!

We will design a ‘streetscene’ reflecting a particular person. The use of quirky adaptations for shop names and frontages will be inspired by their own name, family, hobbies and interests, pets, profession, where they live etc... This will culminate in a very personal piece of art representing their lifestyle, such as the one shown below.

The charm of the Streetscene design is the 'patchwork effect' of colour, texture and pattern created by the wide range of fabrics used.

You can choose either a 'Soft Pastel' or 'Bold Vibrant' palette.

You can also send specific fabric you would like us to include.....a recent customer provided us with her daughter's old jeans to feature in her commission!
