Hand-Etched Wood Pet Portrait
A hand-painted portrait of your companion, etched into natural birch wood and colored by hand.
Every portrait is made to order from a photo of your companion. I trace their likeness, etch it into the wood, and paint the color by hand. For the ones still here, and the ones who aren't.
After you order, I'll email you to collect your photo and send a proof for your approval. Nothing is etched until you're happy with it.
Sizes
Three sizes, each suited to a different spot:
8x10, stands on its own on a desk or nightstand.
9x12, stands on a shelf, or hangs.
11x14, made for the wall.
Each panel is solid three-quarter-inch birch with a recessed back frame, so it stands on its own or hangs on a single nail, no stand or hardware needed. Not sure which fits your space? Email me and I'll help you choose.
Materials
Hand-painted on natural birch wood, with the outline laser-etched for a clean, detailed likeness (the wood is Baltic birch, if you're curious). Each panel is finished ready to display. No two are alike, because each is painted by hand from your photo.

Choose options
Made by hand, from your photo.
Every portrait starts with a photo you send me. I trace their likeness, etch it into the wood, and paint the color by hand, one at a time. A dog, a cat, a horse, a bird, whoever they were, if you have a photo, I can make their portrait. No two are ever the same, because no two of them ever were.
For every kind of companion.
A dog, a cat, a horse, a bird, the one nobody else could quite capture. If you have a photo of them, I can make their portrait.
Complete the set.
Pair the portrait with a hand-finished stone vessel, their likeness and their place, together. Save when you order them as a set.
However you remember them, they deserve a place.
