Buy Customized Pillow Pet Portraits

By Francis Riggs


Our animal companions have a special place in our hearts. Perhaps this is why so many pillow pet portraits are so desirable. They offer a way to honor our pets, providing a one-of-a-kind item to treasure. Shopping online for such an item offers plenty of choice and a chance to compare designs and prices.

Many suppliers paint a portrait to order from a good quality original photograph. The clarity of image on pillow depends on the quality of the photograph provided. The highest resolution electronic image gives the best results. A photograph of a dog, cat, horse or any other pet can be used and the photographs can be close ups or full body shots.

The artists creating the portrait usually pay a great deal of attention to every little detail. They use the best quality paints and fabrics as they understand the importance of what they are doing. Methods of creating these items vary and sometimes a printer and transfer paper may be used or the face may be knitted or created out of fabric scraps. The pillows come in all shapes and sizes. Clients have the opportunity to preview images before they are stitched onto pillows.

The covers of the pillows are created out of a variety of different fabrics. Cotton is one of the preferred fabrics whether this is cotton sateen, twill or a ticking stripe. A silk or velvet cover offers a luxurious feel. When choosing fabric, think about how it needs to be cleaned and how durable it will be.

The portrait of an animal may not have any background at all as pillows are formed in the shape of the face. However, most ones have a background and this can make the item quite distinctive. For example, an electric pink, apple green or bright orange background can create a pop of color to brighten up any room. A more subtle color like cream or beige is more suitable for a classic look. Some suppliers are even prepared to create patterned backgrounds to compliment other items in a room.

Designs may be quirky, retro, classic or chic. They are designed to add a spark of artistic interest to the decor of a room, something out of the ordinary, personalized to make a special custom statement. Many of them are eye catching, original and sure to be a conversation starter in the home.

Many people choose to purchase these items as gifts. They make intimate gifts for family members for birthdays. A person who has lost a pet also appreciates a gift like this and it can bring some comfort. Give one for a daughter or son to take away to college as a special memory from home.

As these items are made to order, there is usually a period of two or three weeks required before delivery. Suppliers may allow further personalization of pillows by including the name of the animal. These items often find a special place in the home and can be enjoyed and treasured by all the family members.
