Fiddle About

***WINNER PICKED 12/27 (late, sorry!) WITH RANDOM.ORG***

***CONGRATULATIONS, heatherw (non-blogger)!!!***

her comment...
I have the most precious picture of my new baby girl that I would love to do this for. She just got her first 2 teeth and I took a picture of her grinning ear to ear. What a wonderful addition to our home this art would be!!


Photofiddle.com is a site that lets you turn your photos into frameable works of art. They take your snapshots and digitally, uh, fiddle with them and print them onto photo paper or canvas. My husband is an artist and I did graphic design in school so we tend to be pretty skeptical about things like this but I have to say, both of us were impressed with the results:




This is the gallery wrap style canvas, its stretchers are about 1.5" deep. I think the edges look pretty enough to leave unframed. I think we went with the "impressionist painting" style. How deceptively sweet and angelic does Roo look? I love it. I suspect most people have a picture they'd like to have Photofiddled. It's a great way to display family photos!

wigget said...

i'd like to have either a family photo, this photo of my older son on christmas, or my baby's 6 month old picture photofiddled with a sepia tone.

Opening Pandora said...

I'd probably photofiddle our wedding photo, or maybe a picture of my girls at the Mission.

sandyy456 said...

Very neat site! I'd have one of our vacation photos done. Not sure exactly which one, but it would be something with the family enjoying our vacation.

Petit Elefant said...

Oh I've wanted to do one of these for so long! I'm glad you liked it. Is it good enough quality to hang over the fireplace though? You know, to be the focal point of the house?

Jill said...

These are so cool-I have a family photo that I would love fiddled! thanks!

Susan said...

I'd probably photofiddle a photo of my son- maybe like an oil painting.

Jenn S. said...

Would love to have one of the pics of the whole family done.

Kathleen said...

That painting is so great! And what a wonderful photo of Roo. I can see her stealing that from your walls when she gets older and moves into her own place.

I have too many photos of SoJo that I'd love to do this to. I could probably paint one myself, but who has the time?

Oh man, your photo is so great! I'd have to do a lot of decisioning to decide what to do. Maybe when we Christmas tree shop tomorrow the perfect photo will be taken.

Vicky H. said...

I would either have a childhood photo of me, my sister, and our mother in Korea done, or I would use one of my friend's pictures of her kids where they're laying down, heads side to side, just all around cute.

I absolutely love Photofiddle. We have two smaller pieces in my daughter's room from there and they are just gorgeous. People always compliment them as soon as they walk in.
