I tried a mirror, but it was way too skinny and just looked wrong. Last summer, while at an art fair, I saw art created using pictures of letters and have always wanted to make some. I had the original intention of taking my own pictures but never got around to it. The other day I found leo reynolds on flikr. He has already done the work with tons of letters, numbers, and punctuation to choose from.
I downloaded the highest resolution and created my art with photoshop elements 9. Lucky that walgreens was running a 20% off sale on posters. I had it printed 20"x30". I was worried it might be pix-elated because it wasn't exactly the size walgreen's wanted, but it's perfect. The frame is a poster frame from Michaels $14.99 with a 40% off coupon. The whole thing cost was $30 for a custom art piece. I LOVE IT!
I LOVE this! I have been wanting one of these pictures, too. I never thought to have it printed. Thanks for explaining your steps - I'm definitely going to do it now! :)
