We’ve just received this lovely Song Birds eggs canvas print from Photowall. Eggs for Easter… perfect!! After offering us the chance to try out their service, we had a good browse through the huge range of prints on offer.

When we saw this one, we knew immediately that we could give it a good home. We have a small area in the cottage given over to ‘found’ objects and nature specimens – shells, pebbles, fossils, bones, feathers and the like. This canvas bird eggs poster was the perfect, complimentary artwork for the room.

Whilst we were happy to use this image from their own catalogue, Photowall canvas prints are actually highly customisable; you can choose the size you want – and even choose your own design – simply upload a photo or scanned image as a high resolution .jpeg, .gif, .png or .psd file and take it from there!

The package includes clear & simple instructions. It’s an ingenious design and it took less than 10 minutes to put together, ready to hang on the wall. Photowall has published a helpful YouTube video showing you how to construct your canvas – we’ve embedded it at the bottom of this post.

Our Photowall experience has been excellent. We’ve been very happy with the whole process – from ordering on the website to hanging on the wall.

[ Many thanks to Photowall for providing the canvas for review ]

I downloaded the lovely photograph above of the Ribblehead Viaduct from the internet to practice making an artwork.

It was just the right ratio for the job – 3 times wider than tall – it created a trio of perfect squares.

I tried again with a photograph of one of Justin’s favourite locations in the country – the Langdale Pikes in the Lake District.

It wasn’t the exact size to slot into three equal squares, however you can resize and crop the image until you’re happy with the composition.

You can also use three separate images – for example, a portrait of your 3 children… or your pets!

To enter, let us know in the comments what subject matter you’d chose to display on your triptych.

Wednesday Wish: Retro canvas rucksack

"Wednesdat Wish" blog post banner

Khaki retro styled canvas rucksack

eBay – £12.99

Justin’s a big fan of the 1965 film, Heroes of Telemark. In addition to it being a great (and based on a true) story, he also loves the vintage Nordic outdoor wear – all canvas, leather, wool & rope.

This rucksack is just the kind of thing and he thought it was great value. I’ve been on the receiving end of some heavy hints for a Christmas present!
