Here at Letter Perspectives, every letter picture you see has a story behind it. It all started with the “E” below:

One day, when Heather was on a walk with her then 4 year old son, he said “Look Mom, that tree is an E!” She took her very first letter picture of the letter E and they continued hunting every day for letter pictures until she could photograph every letter of the alphabet, hanging every photo on a wall of Alphabet Art. This is what started Letter Perspectives!

You may be curious about how we found some of our other alphabet art photos, so we’ll touch on a few in this article.

R1 While in San Antonio, we couldn’t help but notice a beautiful, winding tree. This tree just looked like it had letter art within it. After tilting our heads up and getting dizzy gazing straight up through the tree, we saw the R! This can be a very difficult letter picture to find in nature, so we knew this letter photo would be a treasure.

V4 This letter picture was actually taken during a trip to Canada. Imagine the scene: “Stop the car! Pull over! I see a perfect V for name art!” Although the letter photo looks serene, it was actually a little stressful to guard the road and watch for cars while the letter V was being photographed. But it was worth it! This V makes perfect alphabet art for words like LOVE.

N4 We found this N among the many aspen trees in northern Arizona. We were specifically on an alphabet photography outing this day because it had just rained and the sun was peeking through the clouds in a very peculiar way. This created very interesting lighting conditions perfect for finding letters of the alphabet in nature. This N is one of the most used letter pictures in our Name Art orders.

G5 Letter pictures can even be found in something as simple as a park bench, just waiting to be used in a first or last name to create name art. It’s good to have a high quality camera available at all times to capture alphabet photos almost anywhere.

Over the years since that first E was captured as Alphabet Art, we have continued to enjoy the beauty of Letter Art and gathered many more letter pictures.

The most amazing thing about alphabet photography is how beautiful the letter pictures look next to each other to create name art. From trees, to shoes, to a football, almost anything can be used to create alphabet art!

We’ll post more details about our individual letter pictures in future blog posts. In the meantime feel free to visit our website at www.LetterPerspectives.com to create your very own Name Art. Our letter pictures are photographed with the idea that each letter should be able to stand on its own as a beautiful piece of Alphabet Art, and when placed together to form a word or name, our letter pictures make stunning Name Art to be enjoyed by everyone.

There’s always someone on your gift giving list that is impossible to buy for. Name Art is the perfect gift!

You may be struggling to find just the right gift for a loved one, relative, friend, couple, or family. Name Art is the solution to your gift giving concerns:

Nature contains letters of the alphabet and makes letters look like artwork! At Letter Perspectives, we look at the world around us differently. One person sees a windblown tree, we see an “E”; another sees thorny twigs in a rosebush, we see an “A”, a strangely shaped tree trunk, we see an “R”… and so on!

Here are some steps to help identify the letter art or alphabet art in your own backyard. This is also a great exercise to do with children as they learn the alphabet. Kids have such an open mind, they will see all kinds of letter art and they’ll really enjoy the beauty of alphabet art!

1. Start with a partly cloudy day. Light bounces off objects differently on a cloudy day to create Letter Art. This really makes the letter art pop!
2. Really look at everything. You would be surprised at how much Letter Art is out in nature and in the everyday objects you encounter out in your neighborhood. Letter Art is everywhere!
3. Take your time. Enjoy the scenery and let the Letter Art come to you as you focus on the world around you. When it comes to Letter Art, staring is encouraged!
4. Search for strangely shaped plants and trees. Sometimes nature does odd things, and there’s usually a Letter Art opportunity hidden somewhere within an oddly shaped plant or tree.
5. Look for items that have curves and straight lines. If you see an item that has both a curve and a straight line, or intersecting angles, you will eventually see Alphabet Art appear!
6. Try every angle. If you identify interesting shapes and angles, try looking at it from up high, from the ground, from the back, from the side, and from the front. You can often align it so that your viewpoint forms a Letter and you see Letter Art!
7. Have fun with it! Letter Art is fun and helps us to remember to see things in a different way. Seeing your backyard or neighborhood park as Alphabet Art is a fun activity the whole family can enjoy!

You can take photos of the Alphabet Art that you find along the way to create your own Letter Art collection. Or you can seek out just the letters of your family name to photograph and make your own family Name Art.

At www.LetterPerspectives.com, we love transforming a family name into Name Art! So feel free to try out our design page and see your last name as a piece of artwork, formed by individual alphabet art photos. It’s fun and free to make Name Art with our Letter Art online!

Of course, a Name Art frame made with our Letter Art alphabet photos makes a great gift too. We want everyone to enjoy the beauty of Name Art as Letter Art photos come together to create beautiful alphabet art.

We hope you enjoyed today’s blog post. Feel free to visit our site and create your own Name Art design. If you decide to order a Name Art frame, use Letter Perspectives Coupon Code BLOG to receive $10.00 off any framed sign order!

Christmas should be about more than just the act of spending money on someone else. Buying gift cards or giving cash is really nothing more than just allocating your money to another person. It’s an effort to show them you care, but really loses the whole idea of what Christmas gift giving is for.

So here is a way to give something personal and special: Name Art! Name Art or Letter Art frames are a great Christmas gift idea because they are a unique gift. Giving a custom Name Art gift really captures the essence of Christmas gift giving. Most people don’t have the time to hand craft Christmas gifts for their loved ones every year, but the act of going online and custom ordering a Name Art gift means so much more than just picking up any random gift at the store.

Name Art or custom Letter Art provides the feeling of a handmade or hand crafted Christmas gift without all the time required to make homemade gifts. You simply go online www.LetterPerspectives.com , type in the gift recipient’s name or a special word of significance, then continue by clicking on each Letter Art photo and hand selecting each one to create your Name Art, and then choosing the mat color and frame that will look the best and fit with the personality of your loved one. This makes each Name Art frame unique and special just for the gift recipient. It’s as if you hand made a special gift just for your friend or family member!  Name Art allows you to create a custom Christmas gift without the time and hassle!

Custom Christmas gift JONES

They will not only appreciate the thoughtful nature of a Name Art gift, they will appreciate the quality too! Letter Perspectives Name Art frames are made with only real wood (no plastic!), real glass (no plastic!), and real photos and matting (no print-outs!). A hand crafted, custom made gift that your family will enjoy for years to come!

The trend for Christmas 2012 is to give gifts with a personal touch or some sort of personal message; Name Art goes beyond that to give a gift that is totally custom, designed with care, and shows the gift recipient the utmost in thoughtfulness! Name Art is a great gift for a family, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, or good friends. Name Art is the perfect gift for 2012!

This year, follow the 2012 holiday trend and give the gift of Name Art. Your loved ones will adore the gift and know you truly care.

You’re probably thinking, “What? Is it time for Christmas already?” Well, yes, it’s time to start planning ahead. The thing is, custom made or personalized gifts like Name Art are so much better than the last minute gifts you’ll get on December 24^th. To help you get in the spirit, here are some thoughts about the gift of Name Art and what giving Name Art for Christmas means:

What are you really saying when you give a Letter Perspectives Name Art photo frame? And what does the gift of Name Art say to the person you give the Name Art to?

1. You’re special.  Every Name Art frame is a one-of-a-kind! Everyone loves seeing their name as a work of art, whether it’s Last Name Art or First Name Art, people just love seeing their own name as Name Art!
2. I truly care about you.  Giving a custom-order gift of Name Art shows that you carefully planned. Name Art is the perfect way to put your own custom touch on a gift because you design the Name Art on our fun design page. You choose each Name Art photo and can truly say you designed the Name Art frame yourself!
3. I wish you ongoing peace & happiness.  With your thoughtful Name Art design and our focus on quality, your Name Art gift will be cherished for years to come! There is just something about Name Art that brings good wishes and warm thoughts!
4. You deserve the very best. Our Name Art frames have a very grand look and feel. When giving our Name Art as a Christmas gift, it is immediately evident that you wanted your friend or loved one to have the very best Name Art available on the market today. All our Name Art frames are carefully handcrafted in the USA.
5. I have very high regard for you. Name Art shows the ultimate respect, care, friendship, and adoration.  Name Art is an artistic, tasteful, and unique gift. Name Art is the perfect gift for anyone you hold in high regard. (And yes, Name Art is exactly what you need for those hard to buy for people in your life!)

Nothing shows you care more than a personalized, custom-made gift like Name Art. Name Art is the perfect gift for a couple, a family, or any person you would like to really impress this Christmas. Everyone loves Name Art! A gift of a name art frame is the type of gift that gets oohs and aahs and big WOWs at Christmastime.

Here at Letter Perspectives, we love to make people happy with the gift of Name Art! Name Art is what we do, and we do it well. We make all our Name Art frames just as you design them with the highest quality materials and careful attention to detail. The quality of our Name Art shows in each beautiful work of Name Art.

Did you know that each Alphabet Art frame is painstakingly hand crafted just for you? Our process requires great care and concern in the making of each Custom Letter Art Frame:

We start with unique Letter Art Photos that we photographed in a natural, encountered setting. We do NOT use stock photos or outside photographers to insure not only the authenticity, but also the unassuming and artistic look of our alphabet photography. Also, our Letter Art photos are REAL PHOTOS, printed on the highest quality archive paper by a professional photo printing shop.

Next, your Letter Art Photos are mounted using photo-safe tape to your matting. Our matting is made of acid free fiber material to be of heirloom quality. Great care is given in this step to insure each photo choice you have selected is mounted and lined up perfectly. Your personal, custom Alphabet Art design is of the utmost importance and is being checked constantly as part of our process. Did you choose Sepia Letter Photos? Check! Did you select the “belt-buckle” E? Check! Did you select black matting? Check! We double, triple, quadruple check every Name Art frame!

Next we select the framing according to your Letter Art Frame design specifications. All of our frames are made with real wood – no plastic here! We frame your name art behind real glass (again, no plastic!) and you have your choice of standard glass or anti-glare glass. A dust-cover paper backing is placed on the frame, just like the museums frame their artwork!  Then we install a wire hanger using sturdy screws to insure your Name Art will hang nicely in your home for years to come.

When you purchase personalized, custom designed photo letter art, you are looking for heirloom-quality that can’t be found just anywhere—we get that! Name Art is the expression of someone’s name as a piece of artwork. To be true Name Art, it must be framed using quality materials and hand crafted workmanship. At Letter Perspectives, we take the time and use the materials necessary to make every piece of Name Art an absolute masterpiece!

In today’s post, we’re going to show you some examples of our alphabet photography used in Name Art frames for a last name. You’ll see the difference it makes when you choose various alphabet photos next to each other to spell a name.

Let’s see some different choices in spelling out the name JONES. Here you see the default alphabet photos chosen by the website after typing in the last name:

Next, we can click on each photo letter, and select a different alphabet photo for each photo letter. Here’s the Name Art design we came up with:

You can also select a Theme, such as Nature or Rustic, and the website will display alphabet photos in your design from that category. However, please note that for the most alphabet photography choices, you will need to select the theme of “All” so that you can see all our available alphabet photography when you click on each photo letter in your name art design.

It’s also fun to select alphabet photography that is relevant to the person who will hang the personalized name art on their wall. This makes the gift even more personal and appreciated. (Below we chose a tennis-racket O and a guitar E in our design).

We hope you enjoyed this – and “Happy Designing” with alphabet photography images from Letter Perspectives!

Another great opportunity to enjoy letter art is to give as an anniversary gift. A framed Name Art sign is made with material that applies directly to three specific anniversary traditions:

 –1^st Anniversary Traditional Gift: Paper: A gift involving photographs of letters such as Letter Perspectives Name art would suit the first anniversary perfectly since our alphabet photography letter art photos are made from paper.

–5^th Anniversary Traditional Gift: Wood: All of our Name Art frames are made of real wood and this would be an opportunity to give a wooden gift for the 5^th wedding anniversary.

–15^th Anniversary Traditional Gift: Crystal or Glass: Letter Perspectives uses real glass in all of our framing (never plastic!) so this would meet the requirements for a 15^th Anniversary.

So we’ve established that a framed letter art (or Name Art) sign from Letter Perspectives works perfectly for a 1^st Anniversary,  5^th Anniversary,  or 15^th Anniversary present. However, Letter Perspectives Name Art would really make a perfect present for ANY anniversary because it is a personalized gift and such a unique present. It is a wonderful feeling to receive a gift of your name in pictures. Here are some other applications where Name Art can be used for particular Anniversary gifts:

• 2^nd Anniversary: The traditional gift for this anniversary is cotton, and there are cotton fibers in the matting used in our framed and matted alphabet photography Name Art.
• 3^rd Anniversary: Crystal is considered a modern gift for this anniversary, so the glass used in our frames would qualify.
• 4^th Anniversary: The traditional gift is flowers, a flower “O” could be used in the Letter Art design
• 6^th Anniversary: Although wood is considered a traditional 5^th Anniversary gift, it is also considered as a modern (non-traditional) gift for the 6th Anniversary.
• 10^th Anniversary, 20^th Anniversary, 25^th Anniversary, 50^th Anniversary: Name Art makes a great gift for any major or monumental wedding anniversary simply because Name Art is designed as a personalized gift and marks the special occasion perfectly by placing a name in pictures.

Great anniversary gifts are hard to find, especially if you are hunting for the perfect anniversary gift for parents, that special anniversary gift for a husband or wife, or a unique anniversary gift for your adult children. A framed last name of letter art will be your legacy gift that will be appreciated for years to come because it is a personalized gift.

If you have a friend or loved one who is getting married or if you recently attended a wedding, you may have some wedding gift etiquette questions. We’d like to answer a few of them here: 

1. Is it OK to buy something that’s not on the wedding registry? Absolutely! Often a couple’s favorite gifts are the creative and unique gifts not found on their registry. One thing that makes Name Art such an awesome present is that it is personal, thoughtful, and one of a kind! If you are looking for a special or unique wedding gift that both the bride and groom will love, this is it!
2. When is the deadline for giving a wedding gift? Typically, you have one year from the wedding date to give the couple a gift, although sending your gift within several weeks after the wedding would be a good idea so that it’s not forgotten and there are no hurt feelings. You do not need to present a gift at the wedding; you can ship the gift directly to the couple’s address. It is actually more convenient to have non-cash wedding presents shipped direct to the couple and not bring the gift to the wedding so that the present doesn’t have to be carted and carried from the reception hall. The delivery can take place before or after the wedding date, but be careful that the delivery does not occur during the honeymoon so that someone can receive the package.
3. What if I can’t afford the gift, is it OK to chip in with others? Yes! Especially for a personalized or custom made gift like Name Art. It is a large gift with a grand feeling, and to receive this gift from more than one person would be perfectly acceptable. This would also solve the gift-giving conundrum for everyone involved (They won’t have to figure out what to give the happy couple!)  We have buttons on our design page to E-mail Design to a Friend or Share on Facebook or Pinterest so that everyone can see the design. Be sure to complete the Gift Message, listing everyone who participated in the gift.
4. Can I give Name Art as a Shower Gift? A framed Name Art sign makes a beautiful presentation at a bridal shower, and this could also be a perfect way to give a group gift! Dividing the gift cost among several friends is common at a bridal shower and everyone can see the bride-to-be say “Wow!”
5. I really like the idea of Name Art, but I’m not sure of the couple’s taste and décor. Get the couple a Letter Perspectives Gift Certificate! http://www.letterperspectives.com/giftcert.php  This way the couple can choose their own letter art design and frame, but you will have introduced them to the great idea of Name Art to memorialize their wedding day! It’s also better than the impersonal gift of cash or wedding registry items.

Now that wedding season is upon us, consider the unique gift of Letter Art for that special wedding present.  Also known as Name Art or Alphabet Photography, Letter Art is one of the most sought after wedding gifts today.

Why Letter Art? The main reason is “significance”: Letter Art memorializes the significance of the couple’s special day. Ninety percent of our Letter Art frame sales are used to spell out a last name, which is just perfect to celebrate a wedding where the couple will be sharing a last name together. (Two first names can always be combined with a heart photo in the middle to honor a couple with different last names.)

Our feedback from newlyweds who have received a Letter Art frame from Letter Perspectives has been nothing short of spectacular. Couples are awestruck by the thoughtfulness of the gift-giver; and are impressed with the quality of the personalized Letter Art frame. If you want to give a wedding gift that will be remembered AND admired, a Letter Art photo frame from Letter Perspectives is the way to go.

Below is a letter art frame spelling the name JONES along with some tips for you when designing a wedding gift of letter art:

We used nature themed letter photos in this name art design. Hint: If you’re struggling to choose just the right letter art photos, nature themed Letter Art photos are ALWAYS well received. 

However, when making decisions involving Letter Art for Wedding Gifts, we have to say that you really can’t make a mistake when designing your Letter Art gift (well, unless you misspell the last name…be careful!). People just love seeing their last name in letter photos as Name Art, and they will love that you thought enough to order a custom designed wedding gift of Letter Art.
