Welcome to Handwritten Sentiment!
I am so delighted to say that I am the first and only person/shop to offer actual handwriting as wall canvas art!
This unique and original idea came to me in December 2012 when I found my mother's favorite old Italian saying penned in her journal in her own handwriting. My sister and I have always adored that saying, so for my sister's birthday I made a wall canvas. She absolutely loved it and told me I should find a way to make and sell the canvases to others.
Having experienced the loss of my mother to breast cancer, I am truly sympathetic especially to working with customers that come to me with handwriting from a deceased loved one. Every single order is a custom collaboration between me and my customer. It brings me great joy to know that you will have something in your home (or give a gift to someone for their home) that has the personal touch.
"Do what you love...love what you do." I feel both challenged and fulfilled by each item I make. I embrace the imperfect, rustic feel of canvas stirred together with the mixture of handwriting and photos to create a distinctive work of art.
I have always loved the idea that handwriting is like fingerprints - there are no two alike. Personal sentiments written down by loved ones are something that can never be changed or erased in both their mark on paper and in our hearts.
Thank you for shopping handmade and small business!
I just couldn't get enough of wall canvas art, so I started another shop with all custom creations - Canvas Connection - take a look!
