You know I love me some handmade artwork. Throughout the wedding process, Mr. Dolphin and I have tried as much as we can to buy handmade items through local vendors. When buying handmade, not only are you getting an item which is (at times) completely custom, but you are also supporting an artist (and their art) and usually getting a better deal over factory-made items (which is always a plus!).

This past week, I met with the very talented handmade artist, Carolyn of Framed Letter Art, out of Orlando, FL. She makes fully customizable art of words (like married couples’ new last names, children’s names, inspirational words, etc.) from photographs of letters inspired by architecture and nature that she’s taken from across the United States.

“Love” is the first piece Carolyn ever made, and it was for her mother… how sweet!

A “Gators” framed letter art? Love it!!! Perfect for us orange and blue lov-ahs!

“I ♥ UF” framed letter art Carolyn made for a UF student. So cute!

Loving this black matte, it really makes these photos pop!

How cute would this be hanging in a baby’s or child’s room?

Mr. Dolphin and I acquired a piece of her artwork, customized to our new family last name. Can you guess it from these letters?

How gorgeous is that? It’s so clean and modern! photo by Mr. Dolphin

Even Dolphin Kitty approves!

Isn’t that “S” amazing? Love it!

The craft of the overall piece was impeccable. The frame was well made, and the high-quality, crisp photographs were beautifully matted.

Check out her blog for more images of her work. *all images (minus my own!) are from Carolyn’s blog.

Do you plan on commemorating your name change or newly married family name in a special way?
