Talk about Clever: Brad and Jera Deal made up a creative way to teach the alphabet to their daughters then transformed it into a personalized gift business.
As a way to introduce the alphabet to their daughters, Brad and Jera Deal made a game of ‘letter hunting’ while out for walks or spending days in the park. Since, like most parents, they always had a camera with them, they took pictures of the letters that they spotted whether they were in nature, art or surrounding architecture. Soon they had pictures for every letter in the alphabet.
About that time Jera needed to find a wedding present for her daughter’s pre-school teacher. Rather than purchase a gift, they decided to create the teacher’s last name from the letter pictures they had taken. From that one gift, the Deals received multiple order requests and soon a business was born…
Mounted in museum quality mats and frames, customers select letters from a library of black and white pictures online resulting in personalized, unique pieces of art. Perfect for your own home, for a wedding, birthday, graduation, anniversary or holiday gift, Sticks and Stones art is beautiful, a conversation piece and perfect for that hard to buy for person on your gift list.
Visit www.createsticksandstones.com to create your own piece of art. Simply type in the name, phrase or title you’d like in your frame, then select the letters online. It’s as simple as it is beautiful.
