Personalised word art is the latest craze in home decorating. Currently, plaques, pillows, and wall art all have slogans that include the family name of the homeowner included in the wording. You’ll see things like the family name included in a comforting saying such as, “In our kitchen, sit long, talk much, laugh often, the Williams”.
Plaques
A beautiful tribute to love is a series of wall plaques with the couple’s name, followed by a list of firsts for the pair.

Throw Pillows
Throw pillows will have embroidered or printed family names or titles, like, ‘Grandpa’ or ‘Mom’ along with the grandkid’s names and other words of praise, “For all you do, we love you!” Pillows that read, “Soul Mates, when found, all things become clear, dreams, hope, and love itself”, followed by the first names of the loving couple.
Wood and Metal Sculptures
Another Personalised word art is a sculpted wood sign that acts as a stand-a-lone sculpture displaying a nickname or a full name of a loved one. Some of the signs go a little further and include a phrase or a quote along with the name. A bronze 2-dimensional relief sculpture has the family name and the date of marriage displayed in front of the tree. The letter ‘J’ stands alone in painted blue metal with a swirl of stars swooping around the letter and sitting on top of the name Jacob. Once again this is a stand-a-lone 2-dimensional relief sculpture.
Framed Art
The word images that are framed fall into a wide list of categories. Some word groupings are made to form figures of animals, houses, hearts, the person’s name, or silhouettes of runners, dancers, athletes and parent and child in motion. The beauty of these images is that inside their outline, you will find the names of the people in that household and words that describe their character and favorite things to do. Using block letters that spell, a first name like, Melissa, you’ll find the words, beautiful smile, fun loving, kind, generous, intelligent, silly, etc. To make this artful the letters are in different fonts and point sizes as well as assorted colors, making a beautiful word collage.
Word art is uniquely interesting especially to the recipient of the art. It pays tribute to the person or the family by making their name the focus or the star of the art.
