Gift Ideas
| When that special occasion arrives & you just have to give the gift no one else will be giving, I can create personalized or customized gifts that will stand out in everyone's memory. Whether you have the gift & you want to personalize it or you want something created, let me help you stand out in the gift giving crowd! Please note that these are all customized to suit the needs of the customer. It is extremely important that the order is placed in time enough to complete the project before "the big date". I also have gift certificates if you want to have custom work done on something but it's impossible to do in the time allowed or if you just can't "borrow" the car to get pinstriping or glass etching done & still keep it a secret! |

| GLASS ETCHING |
| Above are just a few examples of how glass etching can be used to make unique gifts. Mirrors work well since you can choose the size of your basic gift then have it personalized to match the tastes of the person you are gifting. Toasting glasses are a wonderful way to present a personalized wedding or anniversary gift to a couple with their names and the date of their wedding permanently etched on the glasses. Glass etching on a door can be done at any time, not just during the building of your home. If you wish to give that truly special spouse or your parents a unique gift that enhances the home I can help you make it happen! |
| UNIQUE GIFT IDEAS |
| On the left is a small concrete horse painted to look like the full sized real horse next to it. This was a gift for the lady who owns the real horse, from her husband. He brought me pictures of both of his wife's horses & two concrete horses which I painted to match her "babies"! The pencil sketch is actually a combination of the same lady & a photo of one of her horses. I worked from separate photos to create this portrait and yes this was a gift for her, too. |
| On the left is the rear of an RV with a painted scene of a hummingbird & flowers, since the wife loves hummingbirds what a great surprise for her! |
| You can bring me a tire cover & I can personalize it. Our friend Von always sat at the back of the van looking out the window over the tire so the people in traffic behind the van could tell who's van it really was! |
| Anyone who is a pet lover would love to have their pet immortalized on canvas & hung on their wall. |
| Even little kids can have a custom painted car! Imagine your gift at the birthday party, a peddle car with painted flames, pinstripes or art & the child's name painted right on the door....great gift idea for Dad's & Grandads! |
| Dad thought hanging a custom sign on his girl's play house with their names on it would be a special treat! |
| Below is an example of a "guy" gift! A gentleman brought me this little plane & photos of a plane to go by & then had me decorate the miniature as a gift for a good friend of his. The photo on the far right has a penny laying on the rear wing, just so you can see the scale of the plane & it's markings! |
| ESTATE SIGNS |
| What do you give to the person who has everything? Do they have a name for their property? A sign with their address on it? Wedding, anniversary, house warming.....just a few ideas of when this type of sign can be purchased as a gift. |
| Just adding a few flowers, the new baby's name & the birth date make this little foot stool a personalized baby gift. |
