The following is some of the fantastic feedback from our lovely ETSY customers...
- " This was beyond my expectations! I purchased the multi-color clock, as pictured, to add a pop of color in my office. Everyone who comes in has commented about how striking and unique it is! Because it is so lightweight, you can hang it anywhere. Thanks Amy!!! "
- "...These are sooo beautiful! I can't even describe how much better they look in person than the pictures, I love the depth..will be such a great piece on our wall. Will definitely post a pic when we get them hung up. Fast shipping as well!"
- "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !!!!!!! Could not be more satisfied. Thanks. The thank you note received was a great touch."
- "These pixel votives are really neat. Love how the light plays through the pixels."
- "This is my go-to gift for a unique piece of art to give to friends. I'm able to personalize it to match the person I'm giving it to. I love the way I can mix and match the backgrounds and themes to find the perfect gift."
- "My husband loved our 1st anniversary present. I love how you incorporated some red with my black and white background as requested. EXTREMELY fast shipping!"
- "I provided minimal instructions - I wanted to hang my favorite movie character on the wall... I got a beautiful art piece in return. colorstorydesigns was outstanding to work with - enthusiastic, talented and with an eye for perfection. I could not be more pleased."
- "LOVED the mirror (so colorful and creative), and it looks absolutely gorgeous on my wall! I also appreciated the great customer service, since I needed a size that was different from what was originally offered. I'm totally thrilled!"
- "Excellent custom service and I absolutely love the final product!"

5 out of 5 starsMy husband and I absolutely LOVE it. The large electric guitar arrived earlier than the tracking suggested. It was wrapped with extreme caution as to not get damaged during transit and it was constructed beautifully. It looks better than what I imagined and fits perfectly with our theme in our master bedroom. Thank you for making such incredibly unique and equally beautiful art.

5 out of 5 starsThe first words out of my mouth were Oh My Goodness!
Amy truly is a gifted artist. I am not going to post a picture of the mirror on my wall, because it is well represented on the website. I will say the colorful pixels are not so lively until you look closer. Then you can also see the 3D effect.
Instead I will show you what came with the mirror.
Such a sweet and personal touch.
Thank you, Amy. -

5 out of 5 starsMy second item from this creative woman and I am so pleased! It’s so charming and makes me smile. I put it on the door I use to exit my home through the garage. I touch it every time I open the door to leave, actually I touch it twice for good luck (1 for me, and 1 for my golden retriever, Cavan, who never misses a chance to ride in the truck).
It came really quickly and I love the personal note and creative envelope. Just a joy.
I love the horse shoe and love this shop.
I’ll be back! -

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful, a frame for a memorial photo of a far too young man who died. A traditional frame would be too staid for this 20-year-old who is sorely missed, but brought joy while he was here. This frame helps express that. Thanks to the artist, the process, and the origin of the materials.

5 out of 5 starsThis is such a cool and unique frame! I love it! You really wouldn’t know it was made out of magazines, so creative, and the colors just make me smile.
I’ll definitely be back for more!
I’m a very happy customer, great customer service and came in timeframe quoted. -

About colorstorydesigns
handmade designs... created from recycled magazines!
colorstory designs began as a way for myself, Amy Gibson, and my best friend, Andrea Read, to be creative and have fun together. We met at an architecture firm in Seattle, WA in 2007, and began our small green design business shortly thereafter. At the end of 2010, Andrea needed to pursue a new job in Kansas City area where she works with a small organization that fights poverty throughout the world. Even though I've continued colorstory designs on my own, the original concept was created by both of us, and she is still my best friend and a huge part of my life!
Everything I make is made from recycled magazines- and I try to find the most colorful parts of the magazines to create one-of-a-kind pieces of art for you! My work includes picture frames, jewelry, wine charms, magnets, mirrors and shadowboxes. Everything is created by me in Tulsa, OK- where I live with my supportive husband Jason and young son Ben. I hope you enjoy looking through my etsy shop and please recycle- it's important!
