Classy alternative to bare windows or bad views

Remember when people had roll-up shades instead of venetian blinds or vertical blinds? Remember when the world was not hardly so cramped and you could leave your windows open?

In many cases today, we are just piled on top of each other too much to have any privacy whatsoever and our view to nature is sacrificed. But what if you could have the view outside and privacy? Picture on Canvas can do exactly that for you. By opening the window to get a clear view, taking a digital photograph of the outside view, converting the photo to a beautiful Picture on Canvas, and attaching it to a roll-up shade, you CAN have the view from outside and the privacy of a shade. Perhaps many people simply solve this problem with a boring generic landscape picture, but a true Picture on Canvas of the actual view outside gives the warmth and personal touch needed to make a house a home. A beautiful photo from each season could capture the moments more brilliantly.

Stunning spring and summer flowers, multi-colored fall leaves and the sparkling of snow in the winter, captured by digital photo and transformed into a unique window dressing to last for ages.

Personalized Photo Canvas Tote Bags

Recycling is one of the old-fashioned and modern ideas of the century.

People in the 1920’s were not so concerned about recycling for the betterment of a greener earth, they simply didn’t know where their next meal or container would come from so they cleaned, reused, and recycled everything they could. When times were better it was a sign of wealth to be able to throw things away without having to scrimp and save every little tatter of material or cola bottles. As 2020 approaches we again are looking for new and innovative ways to clean, reuse, and recycle rather than sending useful articles to the overfilled landfills around the world. Tired of paper or plastic grocery bags? Carry reusable canvas bags for groceries and other shopping. Want to make sure the stores know the bag is yours? Have your picture or a picture of your family right on the bag. That’s right! Use a digital photo to make a Photo on Canvas to sew on the front of your bag!

Canvas bags are durable and having a personal Photo on Canvas sewn to your tote is a sign of artistic value in the art of reusing, recycling, and making the world a greener place for our children and their children to come!

Those Other Special Members of our Family

pic0210_admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 09:00:18 +0000

Our pets are an extension of our lives. Some of the most famous and touching stories, movies, and novels are based on the love between humans and their animal friends.

Along with the humour they provide and the companionship comes the fateful day when they leave us. Many people have mourned the loss of a beloved family pet as equivalent to losing a human friend. They give us so much devotion, love, laughter, that the loss is felt as deeply as their contribution to our lives had been. A trend on social media sites is to take photos of pets in various predicaments and add a humorous caption. What better way to remember your lost pet than with a Picture in Canvas captioned photo? Perhaps it could be a funny photo to make you smile when you remember your pet, or a serious photo giving the love and loyalty a lasting monument? Or perhaps it could be a pet portrait made for a friend or relative who is mourning the loss of their beloved pet? Show the people you love you care about them by honouring their companions in a canvas to last a lifetime just like the friendship it signifies.

Use a Photo in Canvas to always remember that faithful companion

Proudly Display Your Family Crest on Canvas

pic0210_admin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:00:22 +0000

There is a certain pride in our names that has been lost over the last few decades. With the number of women who choose not to take their husband’s name at marriage or hyphenate their own name to their husband’s name, the family name seems to carry less weight than it used to.

Restore pride in your family heritage

A beautiful Photo in Canvas of the family crest over the fireplace is a sure way to show pride in the family name. Many family crests have been traced back hundreds of years and contain very intricate and beautiful artwork. Today, many people also travel across the countries in their campers, their pop-ups, their huge travel homes, and would like to be noticed for whom they are and the area and name they represent. Having A picture in canvas in the motor home, a banner to be placed at a campsite (like the knights wore the crests of the family they defended), or to be used in the window of a travel home in place of a mural is an excellent way of showing pride in heritage. Also, there is nothing wrong with blended family names; in fact the trend will probably increase in coming years. So have TWO family crests displayed.

Double the beauty of the art and double the history to be enjoyed by many future generations by creating a Photo in Canvas for both sides of the family.

Wallpaper Montages in Canvas

pic0210_admin — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 09:00:32 +0000

One of the key phrases today is ‘Think outside the box’. This is an excellent way to inspire people to think in an unconventional way. The same can be true for thinking outside the frame.

Photo canvas frame that is, and Photo in Canvas is the perfect place to create your masterpieces. A home is the biggest investment we make in our lives. We live, have children, grandchildren, countless vacations, graduations, weddings, and other life changing events. Why not devote a complete wall to photo montages on canvas used in a wallpaper type fashion? It could be montages of a particular year’s events, or simply a collection of family photos up to that particular time frame. Some wallpaper is very heavy in nature and many have cloth or canvas backing. Proper procedures would need to be followed for the installation and a clear sealant that would not damage but would protect the photos be used. A neutral color such as a muted sky blue or a soft tan or olive green could provide the area behind the montages with a connective element, as well as leave space for additional future montages. By starting in the middle of a wall and working outward, the ripple effect that one family creates can be beautifully recorded and enjoyed for the art that it is.

Don’t limit yourself spread outside the frame.

A Faux-painting touch for your canvas

pic0210_admin — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:00:13 +0000

Few would argue that a canvas painting is an elegant addition to any room’s décor. Unfortunately custom painted canvases can sometimes be on the expensive side. Luckily, Photo In Canvas offers a simple service that allows you to take your own photographs and print them directly onto a canvas. From there you can apply a faux-painting touch to your already printed canvas photos using acrylic paints.

Home spun masterpieces born from your photos printed on canvas…

Ordering canvas prints of your photos is easy and can be done in any number of sizes or styles from Photo In Canvas. After picking your photos to be printed you can go to any local art store and buy acrylic paints and a mixing palette. This may seem daunting, but it’s surprisingly easy to mix acrylic paint colors with a bit of practice. When your photo canvas prints arrive, hang them in the area you wanted to decorate and make note of the way the colors look in that room. Try your best to match the colors as they appear in that room or area. With a small brush you can carefully begin applying the paint to the canvas. Since you’re not looking to paint over your entire photo, just apply paint at the edges of colors. To give your photo canvas a faux-painting touch, accent the small points and curves by just lightly brushing. Keep it simple is the key. If you have to go over spots, acrylic dries quickly and can be painted over.

You can be a photographer and artist all in one.

Canvas as a portable advertising media

pic0210_admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:00:40 +0000

Canvas prints can obviously brighten up a room at home, but it can also be a useful business tool. If you’ve ever represented a company as a vendor at a fair or convention you understand how important being portable is.

A personal yet professional touch…

You need to be able to identify yourself to customer, but you also need to be able to relocate your booth or stall if floor plans or the convention layout suddenly changes. This is where the sturdiness and professional look from Photo In Canvas will really help you shine. With canvas printing you could print your company logo, announcements, or even inventory information directly onto the canvas. This would be a sturdy and lightweight sign that could be hung on a wall or booth, or if that’s not an option, canvas prints could be stood up on a horizontal surface (just be sure to either weight the base down or otherwise secure it). Another major boon of canvas printing would be the reusability. Posters and fliers are all well and good, but they tend to fray, rip and tear with time and with each transport. No matter how carefully you roll them up they don’t last very long on the road. Canvas, however, is much sturdier and can see many uses without significant wear. Transportation just means stacking them up in the trunk of your car and going.

For an alternative business asset, canvas makes an excellent advertising media.
