Turn Your Special Place Into Art

Have a building, business, or landmark that holds a special place in your heart? Turn it into a custom laser-engraved ornament you can keep forever or gift to someone who will treasure it.

Before ordering, please review the simple guidelines below so I can create the best possible piece for you:

What Can Be Turned Into an Ornament

To protect both of us and ensure high-quality artwork:

• Your photo must show a public building or publicly visible landmark, OR

• You must have permission from the owner to use the image for artwork and engraving.

  Examples include: schools, churches, historic buildings, fire stations, barns, local businesses, etc.

Photo Requirements

Great artwork starts with a great photo! Please provide:

• A high-quality, clear, well-lit photo

• Preferably taken straight-on, without heavy shadows or filters

• At least 2000px wide (most phone photos are perfect)

Avoid screenshots, cropped images from Facebook, or blurry photos—these make it hard to produce clean line art.

Artwork Details & Accuracy

Each ornament is converted into detailed line art for laser engraving.

Please note:

• I cannot guarantee 100% architectural accuracy, especially for very small or obstructed details.

• I will capture the defining features and overall likeness of the landmark as closely as possible.

• Small distractions (cars, people, wires, clutter) may be removed unless you request otherwise.

Proof & Turnaround

• You’ll receive an artwork proof via email to approve before engraving.

• Production time- My normal Turn Around Time is up to 14  business days. It begins after you approve your design.

Photo Usage Rights

By submitting your photo, you confirm:

• You own the image or have permission to use it, and

• You allow me to transform it into original artwork for your ornament.

• If your custom ornament design be added to my shop’s standard offerings (Public Buildings Only), a $5 refund will be issued back to you to reimburse the customization portion of your order.
