It started with that special moment captured in an image. Then an occasion arose and you need to give a gift. Not a gift card, but something special that would be appreciated. You had seen photo blankets before and were intrigued by the idea of creating a gift that was unique. After all, what’s better than a personalized inspirational gift?
The act of giving says more than words.
That’s why it’s often difficult to select a gift for that special friend, loved one, or family member. I did a study of the matter and found that there is a solution to the challenge that is more than a gift; it is actually a keepsake with the quality and durability to last a lifetime. I will share with you the results of my research. But please read on only if you care about the gift being special, personalized, memorable, and are willing to take a few minutes to add your own distinctive touch.
Start with that special moment.
A wise man once said “a picture is worth a thousand words”. You know you captured the essence of that moment in a photo. The image of him is his own work of art. I found a way for you to transform your favorite photos, drawings or works of art into timeless gifts; and an online service where artisans are ready to help you create an affordable masterpiece.
The source of distinctive gifts.
A hand-painted tapestry is a talent lost in time. But when your photo is woven into a tapestry, it becomes a special keepsake. Custom woven throws, pillows, custom throws, photo towels and a host of other gifts featuring artisan-quality images are created every day. First decide if your art is going to be transformed into something practical or a souvenir. My choice for souvenirs is afghan or tapestries.
What is the difference between an afghan photo blanket and a tapestry and which kind of the photos look better in each?
An afghan is woven with a slightly heavier yarn than a tapestry and is limited to two colors, making it better suited for recreating a two-color image, usually black and white or sepia-toned. A tapestry photo blanket, on the other hand, is woven with six to eight colors of a thinner thread, which are combined to accurately recreate the vivid colors of your photo. The thinner thread creates a tighter weave allowing for more detail and image clarity.
So how do you decide if you’ve come to the right place?
There is an art to creating a gift like this. I would make sure to check the 5 different differences between the correct place and the rest of the package.
1. Does the craftsmen produce the work or does it by a computer?
Like when it comes to color, skin tones, and composition, noticing trumps the human touch.
2. Is the design team experienced?
He always prefers to go to the experienced doctor, dressmaker and photo knitter for excellent quality work.
3. Will your image be reviewed and threads selected by hand or by machine?
Nothing can replace the experienced eye of a true artisan reviewing your images to determine the best way to match the colored yarn that will ultimately be woven into the image into a blanket or blanket.
4. Is quality yarn used in your blanket? How many stitches per inch?
It is a well known fact that the best yarn comes from Darwin, Minnesota in the good old United States. Also, the more thread the souvenir uses, the heavier, more durable, sharper and more vivid the image will appear.
Imagine the joy. Imagine the excitement. Feel the hug.
That’s what makes the perfect personalized gift for you and the recipient and I wanted to share my findings with you on photo blankets.
