If you've ever tried to convince your significant other to let you add more art to your walls, you know the struggle. "No more holes in the wall," they say. But who says you can't have both a beautifully adorned space and a compromise-free relationship?
Enter Lithophanes – the ingenious fusion of photography, art, and lighting. Maybe your partner, much like mine, is on a mission to keep the walls hole-free. Or perhaps you're facing the common dilemma of having no more wall space left to showcase those breathtaking landscapes and vibrant colors. Maybe you're in a place where hanging anything is just not an option.
Well, fear not! Lithophanes offer a one-of-a-kind solution that not only adds artistic flair to your surroundings but also doubles as a source of light. Here's the twist: it was actually my husband's brilliant idea to turn my nature and landscape photographs into framed wonders that illuminate our space in more ways than one.
And here's the fascinating part – after each image is meticulously chosen and edited, it takes approximately 6 hours for one lithophane to print. Yes, you read that right! Six hours of craftsmanship for each luminous masterpiece. Who knew there was another life for the photos I go out to take each week?
Adding the perfect color is the next crucial step in the process, taking an additional 30 minutes to ensure it meets my high standards. Communication with the client is key during this phase, ensuring their expectations are met before making the color permanent. This personalized touch ensures that each lithophane not only meets my artistic standards but also resonates with the client's vision.
But wait, there's more! These lithophanes aren't just visually stunning; they function as nightlights for your living space or bedroom. No need for pesky cords – each one runs on 3 AAA batteries that can be easily replaced as needed.
Now, let's delve into the technicalities. A lithophane, also known as a lithograph, is a 3D printed image that is illuminated from behind. Crafted from PLA plastic, LED lights are used to prevent melting and distortion of the image due to high temperatures.
Remember, though, keep them away from high-temperature locations and direct sunlight. The color is seamlessly added by printing the original image in a color-corrected manner and securing it to the 3D print. The key to keeping the color amazing; keep the image away from moist and wet locations. Sorry, that bathroom shelf is not the perfect place, at least at this time.
Caring for your lithophane is a breeze – treat it like any other picture frame, just dust as needed. The LED light is easily pressed to turn it on and off, running on batteries that are both replaceable. Choose from my current portfolio or bring your own vision to life with custom requests.
