At the garage sale that I held this past summer, one item that found a new home was a large framed picture of red flowers in various blue vases. There wasn't a single thing wrong with it and, in fact, I still thought it was an awfully pretty piece of art.
The reason I sold it? It had long been taken down from our walls and replaced by something more personal. Whether photographs of the girls or custom, one-of-a-kind creations that we've fallen for, I like the decor in my home to represent my family and have more meaning than a mass-produced painting of flowers.
And the newest site that I have been introduced to for this exact type of art? None other than the uber-popular Alphabet Photography.
Known to some as letter art, Alphabet Photography centers around an amazing collection of photographs of objects found in their natural surroundings that resemble the letters of the alphabet. Un-staged and not found in any pre-existing signage, the pictures found at Alphabet Photography were collected over the course of two years and trips all across North America.
Now how come my photos never turn out this cool?
With over 1000 different pictures to choose from, these letters are available individually (for only $5!) or in a poster, calendar, collage frame, Inspirational Series (a word with a quote) or in a Create a Word option that lets you create and design your own custom piece.
Selecting a favorite from the Inspirational line was difficult, as there were quite a few that caught my eye and would have fit in well in our home.
However, I finally decided on a classic: Love. Not only were the photographed letters creative and striking, the quote fit perfectly: "There is only one happiness in life - to love and to be loved" - George Sand.
When this artwork arrived (very well-packaged to avoid any possibility of damage), I couldn't wait to open it up and see how beautiful it would look in person.
The thick, professional grade paper and high quality black wooden frame highlight this 15" x 13" piece and I love the way that the letters and quote overlap just slightly to show that they connect. Removing the cardboard protectors from the corners and the covering over the hardware on the back, this art went directly up on the wall to be admired.
Art from Alphabet Photography really does make a timeless, customizable great gift for any occasion. With a variety of styles, sizes and prices (there is even an Under $40 category for a bargain on the same beautiful looks) and of course the ability to completely design the wording and individual letters in your own piece, you'll have the ability to display artwork that is not only incredible but personalized just for you.
Featured everywhere from The Tyra Banks Show to ABC News to On-Air with Ryan Seacrest, Alphabet Photography can now also be your fancy new profile picture on Facebook with their Alphabetize Me technique. Simply type in your name and, using their new Vegas Alphabet, download the colorful results!
Thanks to the generosity of Alphabet Photography and their talent in being able to look at the world around us and see the art that is everywhere, one person will get to enjoy this unique and eye-catching artwork as well, because...
One lucky person will win their choice of print from the Inspirational Photo Frames at Alphabet Photography! ARV $45!
