A unique and personal gift to treasure for a lifetime. Totally handcrafted and personalized especially for you.

These lovely photo ornaments are handmade from real silver birch wood slices.

They measure approximately 3.5” inches in diameter. Sizes and shapes will vary slightly as they are real branches from real trees.

On one side I take a digital copy of your photo, reverse the image, then using a translucent transfer paste I transfer the toner from the paper onto the wood.

After lots of time and patience and a delicate hand, the paper is removed and the image left on the wood. The wood grain is visible through the image (although silver birch has a delicate grain pattern) for a rustic and completely unique appearance.

The back of your ornament can have a small message, name(s), date burned into it using the art of pyrography; a word taken from the Greek for writing with fire. A hot metal hand tool is used to burn the surface of the wood with your choice of wording.

Please add the wording you would like on the back along with the font style option in the notes section during checkout. Your ornament will be finished with a screw in loop and ribbon of your choice.

You will need to send me a digital copy of the photo you’d like me to use. You can send this to my email Maxine@belleshearts.com

Any photos you send will be treated with privacy and respect.

Please take into consideration the size/shape of the wood piece when choosing your photo. I may need to resize or crop the image in order for it to fit to the wood piece. If you’re unsure whether the photo will fit, please just ask.

If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to ask - I’m always happy to help in any way I can.

Due to the nature of the transfer process, the wood burning process, being individually handmade and the use of organic materials, each piece will be different; your piece will have grain/markings that appear naturally on the wood.
