About this Product
I'm so glad you've found my shop! Having a keepsake of our travels helps us remember them time and again. I started painting scenes from our travels to national parks and wanted to share them. These handmade ornaments will be a treasure forever! Each ornament has a copy of my original artwork on the front. On the back, you can choose a larger version of my artwork or a custom photo from your travels!
Quality:
-These custom ornaments are hand pressed with dye sublimation ink for sustainable print that won't fade or chip. They are pressed on either one sided or two sided light weight aluminum round ornaments.
-Due to the finish of the ornaments, some of the pictures can appear blurry or fuzzy up close. To avoid this, choose pictures that are high resolution and not blurry or pixelated. They must be at least 300 dpi.
-Dark colors are often darker once printed. Choose photos that have adequate lighting in the background or foreground.
-For best results, choose photos that the subjects are centered so important details aren't cut off on the round ornament.
Please note that colors may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of this product.
-Colors will vary from computer to printed product due to computer screens, phone screens, tablet screens, etc.
-If choosing a custom photo, be sure the picture is high quality, light, and the subjects are centered for the best results. Due to the nature of the printing/pressing technique, photos can appear blurry or pixelated if the quality and resolution of the photo is too low. Screenshots and copies of photos don't print as well.

-3x3" round lightweight two-sided aluminum or
-2.75" round one sided aluminum

Living Brightly Art
Meet the Maker
Hello! My name is Karen and I have been a stay-at-home mom of five kids for the last 15 years. During Covid, our family started traveling to National Parks to keep our sanity and get outside. We love adventuring and seeing new places! Around Christmas time, I realized it would have been nice to have a collectible from the parks and places we had traveled to so I decided to try painting scenes from our travels onto little wood circles. Little did I know that I liked painting so much! I hadn't been in an art class since high school and in the mix of mothering I totally forgot how much I liked it. My family and friends suggested I sell my paintings but it really takes me a long time to create one so I learned about die sublimation and how to copy my paintings onto aluminum ornaments. From there, Living Brightly Art was born! I hope you enjoy browsing the ornaments I've created so far.
How it’s Made
After painting each scene, I take a picture of them. Once they are in the computer, I can edit the words and other elements to create the design. I print each design using die sublimation. I then press the copy of my painting onto each ornament using a heat press.
