We all find it hard to come up with that unusual and different gift to give our parents, grandparents, uncles’ aunts etc., the people who raised us and made sure that we grew up to be good people. What do you get for a person who seems content and has everything including shelves of books and every nick-knack you ever gave to them? Well here is an idea that might just solve all your problems. Paul Tuminno an ArtisansMarket.com artist specializes in lettering and is very talented.
His technique is very simple yet elegant and unique in that you can customize your piece to fit your needs. Paul takes unique flat pieces of stone and embellishes them with traditional symbols, religious symbols, and family crests. He hand gilds them with 23kt gold leaf outlined in enamel.
Why is this so special? Every family in America has a history their family tree branching back hundreds of years and branching into many countries throughout the world. Paul brings a touch of history and pride of heritage to you with his customized stone pieces. Their uses are numerous, they can be a conversational piece, paperweight, and patio napkin weight, lay on a table or framed in a shadow box for easy hanging. Don’t want to use a box, then use a plate hanger and hang it in the study. Imagine the pride in your fathers voice as he joyously explains the family crest to his guests. Or, what about your mother describing the unique cross that symbolizes the spiritual guidance that has been your family stay for hundreds of years.
Don’t want your symbol done on stone. Paul also paints wonderful wood signs as the example above shows. Have one made for your patio, the garage or how about a good luck blessing for the barn.
What about a symbol that promotes conversation on your heritage such as an ancient symbol of your people dating hundreds of years back into time? Each of us has such a symbol and all of us are proud of our heritage.
I think Paul has a wonderful sense of what it takes to make a special and customized gift for your family member or friend. Check him out in his Artisansmarket.com gallery
