Select Customized Pillow Pet Portraits

By Francis Riggs


For many of us our pets are a very important part of our lives. They are loyal companions with whom we play games, take walks and spend time together. This is why pillow pet portraits have become so popular. They are being designed today to offer a uniquely personalized item for you and your home that will be treasured for years. A one-off item like this can be ordered from a variety of online suppliers, all with their own particular style.

The first step required is to supply a good quality photograph. This has to be as clear as possible so the artist can paint a realistic portrait that captures the uniqueness of character. It can be a full body photograph or a close up.

Once the photograph has been supplied, the artist goes to work to painstakingly create the portrait, often paying attention to every little detail. They know how much the final product will mean to its owner and take time and care to ensure it will not disappoint. Once the painting has been created, the client receives a proof for approval. Only upon approval is the final product created.

The covers of the pillows are created out of a variety of different fabrics. Cotton is one of the preferred fabrics whether this is cotton sateen, twill or a ticking stripe. A silk or velvet cover offers a luxurious feel. When choosing fabric, think about how it needs to be cleaned and how durable it will be.

The portrait of an animal may not have any background at all as pillows are formed in the shape of the face. However, most ones have a background and this can make the item quite distinctive. For example, an electric pink, apple green or bright orange background can create a pop of color to brighten up any room. A more subtle color like cream or beige is more suitable for a classic look. Some suppliers are even prepared to create patterned backgrounds to compliment other items in a room.

Designs may be quirky, retro, classic or chic. They are designed to add a spark of artistic interest to the decor of a room, something out of the ordinary, personalized to make a special custom statement. Many of them are eye catching, original and sure to be a conversation starter in the home.

An item like this can make the most stunningly beautiful and intimately personal gift. Give one to a daughter to take to college with her to bring comfort. Give one to a family member as a Christmas or birthday gift. They are also comforting for those who have lost a special companion.

These items are only made once an order is placed. This is why it is important to allow for enough time for it to be made before delivery. Making the item can take about three weeks. Sometimes further personalization such as including the name of the animal is possible. Pillows like this are created to last and often find a special spot in a home where they are appreciated for years.
