Photo Selection Tips

Choosing the right photo is the first step to creating a beautiful stained glass portrait. You want your pet’s personality to shine through, so picking clear, high-quality images is important. Here are some tips to help you select the best photos:

  1. Look for photos with good lighting. Natural light works best, especially during early morning or late evening. Overcast days can also help balance the light and avoid harsh shadows.

  2. Make sure your pet’s face and features are easy to see. The clearer the details, the better your mosaic portrait will turn out.

  3. Try different angles and backgrounds. Sometimes, a simple background helps your pet stand out more.

  4. Use 2-3 photos that show your pet’s unique features. Pawimprint asks for a few images so the artists can capture every detail.

  5. If you have a favorite moment or expression, include it! This helps the artists create a stained glass portrait that feels personal and true to your pet.

Tip: If you want to highlight certain features, try adjusting your camera’s settings. A small aperture keeps everything in focus, while a larger one can make your pet pop against the background. You can also experiment with lighting angles to bring out the colors and textures in your pet’s fur.

Installation

You have your beautiful Pawimprint stained glass portrait in hand—now it’s time to show it off! You can use the included suction cup mount for easy hanging, especially if you want to display your portrait on a window. This method lets sunlight shine through, making the colors pop and giving your artwork a magical glow.

If you prefer to hang your portrait on a wall, use the included hooks for a secure hold. Pick a spot with good lighting, like above your sofa, bed, or in your office. Well-lit areas help the vibrant colors and 3D details stand out. Neutral or textured walls work great because they highlight the artwork’s colors and details.

Tip: Handle your stained glass portrait with care. Acrylic glass is sturdy, but it can scratch or chip if dropped. Always check that your mounting hardware is strong enough to support the weight.

You can also group smaller portraits together for a bold, eye-catching display. Arrange them with equal spacing to create a balanced look. If you want a modern style, leave your portrait frameless. For extra protection or a finished touch, you can add a frame.

Maintenance

Keeping your Pawimprint portrait looking its best is easy. Just follow a few simple steps:

  1. Place your portrait away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and greasy areas. This helps prevent fading and dust buildup.

  2. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush. A wide, fluffy paintbrush works well. Don’t press too hard.

  3. For small marks, use a barely damp soft cloth with distilled water. Dab the spot gently—never rub or use harsh cleaners.

  4. Clean the back and any frame with a soft brush or a vacuum on low. Avoid using water on the back.

  5. If your portrait has a frame, spray cleaner onto a cloth (not directly on the glass) to avoid liquid getting under the frame.

  6. For tough stains or damage, reach out to a professional art conservator.

Note: Regular gentle care keeps your stained glass portrait bright and beautiful for years to come.
