thumbprint portraits

Thumbprint portraits use your own thumbprint to create a large (three feet high!), modern, colorful work of art that will be absolutely YOU.  I will use your own thumbprint and recreate its unique patterns using snippets of imagery, text and color from your favorite things (you’ll provide a list and I’ll pore through and gather hundreds of images to best represent that list).  Your favorites could include much-loved books, music, films, poetry, quotes, places traveled and lived and more.  The result is a truly one-of-a-kind portrait that captures your personality and passions.  It makes a wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one.  A great way to do a unique family portrait - you could create one for each family member, or (like the one shown above!) use one family member’s thumbprint and incorporate the interests of all family members into one portrait.

There are several different options for thumbprint portraits - full color / all inclusive portraits, full color booklover (book covers/titles only) portraits, and black-and-white / text only portraits.  They are priced differently, based on the amount of material-gathering work that takes place on my end for each type.  Please see my etsy shop for more details:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherylsorg
