Custom poem print (framed optionally)
hand typed on a vintage typewriter on handmade cotton paper
(with or without a frame / pressed flowers)
Turn your favourite quote into an authentic art work! Think about your favourite poem, quote from your favourite book or movie, a song lyric, or perhaps words that have poured out of your own heart, perhaps on a special occasion.
This is a lovely little art work for your own home or office. Let your favourite words inspire you every day, every time you walk past them.
It is also perfect to give as gift it to a loved one, sharing a message from the heart that will remind them of you, or a special moment you've lived through together. For example, a message for you mother (for Mother's Day) which reminds her of your love and appreciation, or a gift for your partner on your wedding anniversary containing your vows or other special words you shared on that day.
The opportunities are endless!
We will type your quote by hand on one of our 1960's vintage typewriters on top quality 150 gms acid-free cotton paper with deckled edges. The paper made by hand in India from cotton rag from t-shirt cuttings. It has a rough, authentic, vintage appeal.
Each piece of paper is unique due to tiny differences, which adds to the uniqueness of the art work.
The print is available in the following sizes:
A6 - 11 x 15 cm - 3.9 x 5.8 inch
A5 - 15 x 21 cm - 5.8 x 8.3 inch
A4 - 21 x 30 cm - 8.3 x 11.8 inch
Note that the typewriter only produces one size of the font, so the text will look smaller on a larger piece of paper.
⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
The prices vary according to the size of your text. So please count your words beforehand and select the correct option.
Also note that for lengthy texts (more than 17 rows on an A6, and 24 rows on an A5 paper) we will need to use a smaller row height - so the rows will be closer together.
The ABSOLUTE MAX is:
A6: 27 lines - 35 characters per line (including spaces)
A5: 44 lines - 54 characters per line (including spaces)
A4: 63 lines - 75 characters per line (including spaces)
Please take that into account when choosing your text and the paper accordingly!
FRAME
---------
You can buy just the hand-typed print, or we can also frame it into a double-glass (plexiglass) frame. The frame can be both hung on the wall on a chain, or be put on a flat surface straight up.
The frame is available in a matte gold or shiny silver finish, and measures 20x25 cm (approximately 8x10"). The A6 and A5 pieces of paper fit beautifully in it, you can see how it looks in the listing pictures. The A4 paper does not fit into this frame, so it can only be purchased unframed.
The frame is made of steel and is coated with a gold or silver finish. Note that he 'glass' is actually plexiglass, which makes it safer to handle and less breakable (especially during transport).
PRESSED FLOWERS
---------
We can also add pressed flowers to your frame. We have a variety of pressed flowers and leaves in various colors. You can specify your wishes in the personalization box, for example if you'd like specific colors, or if you have a specific placement in mind for the flowers within the frame. If you would like (a) specific flower(s) to be included, please message us beforehand to check whether it is available.
In one of the pictures we've shared some of our most popular flower styles. You don't HAVE to choose one of them, but if you like one of those particularly for your piece, let us know!
