I'm very attracted to images of vintage ephemera featuring washed out sepia toned prints of women with oil painted cheeks and flowers in their hair. Part of their appeal is their mystery- who was this woman? What did she like to do? Was she in love with someone? But often vintage postcards, prints and such feel a bit like snooping, like you're prying into someone's personal life where you don't belong. Well, now I've found the perfect combination of familiarity and vintage mystery- the Bespoke Collage by Paper Relics!
These hand collaged 8x10 prints are compiled from photographs that you (the customer) send in and which artist Hope Wallace lovingly puts the silly and frilly vintage touches on. Perfect for a wedding gift, a very cool and unique family picture or a way to celebrate a long friendship, the sky's the limit really, as you can work with Hope to create whatever you have in mind for any occasion. I'm so in love with these, I want one with me and my kitty! I'll have to find some good pics to send in! Order a collage for yourself, and browse around the site for lovely vintage inspired postcards, keychains, magnets and much more! (I think I want almost everything!)
