Modern Bird Studios Giveaway

If you’ve never heard of Modern Bird Studios, then you’re in for a treat! They are a very cool company that creates uniquely personalized modern art from photographs using a combination of digital, hand, and painting processes applied to wood.Their website is full of fantastic examples of the many photographs-turned-art that they have custom painted. Everything from children, couples and pets to their own pre-designed Bloom Series. For your own custom piece of art, you simply place your order, send your choice of photo and choose your favorite color combination, including the bare wood if like. Once your order is placed, they begin your project by emailing to you a proof for your approval. Finally, your piece is meticulously created, shipped and ready to display! Such a perfect, perfect gift.I spent some time trying to come up with just the right shot until my 13 year old daughter, Jamie, and I decided on one special item she cherishes. Her vintage first-baseman’s baseball glove. It’s not just any glove- it’s the one my father gave to his son, my oldest brother, Tom, when he was a young boy. Tom came from Michigan to visit our family a few years ago and met my husband and children for the first time. He brought with him that glove as a gift. Sadly, the following summer Tom died suddenly of heart failure. Jamie, a baseball enthusiast, used that glove in every game she was put on first base. It also was the beginning of her vintage baseball glove collection.
I took a photo of the glove in the driveway, emailed it to the fantastic crew at Modern Bird Studios with Jamie’s choice of colors, and this is what they created. A very special, 12″ x 24″ piece for her bedroom.
Here it is displayed with the actual glove and the rest of her glove and mitt collection.
