Hello Family and Friends,

I wanted to share something new that I've been working on and that I've really come to enjoy.

Over the past several months, I've been learning the art of 3D printing custom keepsakes. Using just a single photograph, I can create beautiful lithophanes, lithospheres, and 3D busts that capture special memories in a unique way.

If you've never seen a lithophane before, it's a three-dimensional image that's almost magical. At first glance it looks like a white piece of art, but when it's illuminated from behind, your photograph comes to life with incredible detail. A lithosphere takes that same concept and wraps the image around a sphere, creating a stunning display from every angle, usually with a planet surface (like the moon {I know the moon isn’t a planet…}) as the backdrop. I can also create detailed 3D busts from a photograph, turning treasured memories into lasting keepsakes.

Whether it's a favorite family photo, a wedding picture, a beloved pet, a military portrait, or a memorial tribute, each piece is individually designed and printed with care.

I'm not starting a big commercial business—at least not yet. Right now, I'd simply like to share my work with family and friends and offer custom pieces for those who might like one for themselves or as a meaningful gift.

I'm launching a private, invitation-only website here where you'll be able to upload your favorite photos, and request custom creations.

Thank you for supporting my new hobby. It's been incredibly rewarding to turn cherished memories into works of art that can be displayed and enjoyed for years to come.

AND THEY MAKE GREAT GIFTS FOR OTHERS!

Turning Memories Into Light.
