Memories in a Box can take your treasures and put them together for all to see and love.  These are completely bespoke pieces of artwork.

Ideal gift for a special Birthday, Anniversary, Wedding, Christening etc.  Following are some examples.

Memorial Collage

I realised, as we are picture framers’, that I could do something special with all my late mother’s items that I had collected and cherished over the years.  I wanted her to be a part of my home, my family and so to put all her items together in one place seemed the ideal thing to do.  In this collage are many items, including:-

• Items from sewing box
• St Christopher
• Sunday School certificate
• In fact, in this collage, there are Bus pass
• Handwritten poem from her purse
• Elvis record – she loved him
• Bingo card – we played as children
• Watch
• Over 100 pieces all of which extremely personal
• Finished size including frame of the piece shown is 53cm square.

All collages take on their own lives as each has different objects, photos, etc.  And they are all very different and completely unique.

Wedding Collage

This is Bob and Sarah’s wedding collage – they were married 3 years ago.  The poem around the edge was read at their wedding.  Items in this include photos, text from various wedding invitations, letters to each other, Sarah’s garter, Bob’s tie pin, Engagement announcement, parts of Sarah’s tiara, shells from their honeymoon.

The frame is wrapped in photos of all her guests which make this an extremely unique and personal piece of artwork.

Birth Collage  (photos coming very soon)

We all keep the name tags from the hospital, first lock of hair, scan photo, first shoes, special gifts and cards in boxes dotted around the house, in the loft etc.  Here is an idea to keep all those items together and safe as a work of art on your wall.
