Giveaway & Review: Photo Fiddle Artwork [CLOSED]

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of personalized gifts. Well, nothing is more personalized than custom artwork. These would be the perfect gifts for anyone with walls . . . especially ideal for Mother's Day gifts as well as Father's Day gifts.

When Photo Fiddle offered to send me a my very own custom photo canvas to review, I was was so excited. I thought I knew exactly which one of my one million photos I would choose to use for this project, but I ended up going with this one . . .


Choosing the photo was the hardest part of the process. The rest of the ordering is a piece of cake. After I placed my order, a few days later, this showed up at my door . . .


It is a wrapped canvas just like one would find in a gallery. I opted for the "Deep Sponge Painting Style." Both my husband and I are extremely pleased with the results. I am so happy I chose this photo because it captures a father/son moment that would normally only be caught by a camera. I guess that just sums up the magic of Photo Fiddle . . . you can have a work of art that would be impossible to pose for.

Also, included in the box were these white gloves meant to be worn while you are handling your precious work of art. I thought it was a nice touch and adds perceived value to your gift.

Things I would like to point out about my Photo Fiddle experience:

1) I could not believe the vast amount of choices in designs that were available to us.

2) I think it is very important that the customer is able to see what the work of art will look like after the transformation instantly (prior to placing the order).

3) Even though my canvas did not weigh too much, I love that it comes with a thick strong wire hanger on the back. The artwork comes out of the box ready to hang.

4) I was also impressed by how carefully the artwork was packaged for shipping. The canvas itself was sealed in plastic. Then was packed in such a way so that none of the surfaces touched the walls of the box. The "You Have Been Fiddled" label on the outside of the box was a nice touch too. It just makes the recipient even more excited to open the box.

5) I am glad the artwork was in the form of a wrapped canvas (the canvas is wrapped around a frame and the painting continues around the sides) rather than a canvas board. This way I do not need to have the painting framed.

6) I was floored at how quickly I received the artwork. This is wonderful if you happen to be a last minute gift shopper.

Usually, I have some suggestions on how to improve a product or a service, but I cannot think of one thing for Photo Fiddle.
