The details

What It Is

A photograph on the wall shows you what they looked like. This is meant to do something else: to sit somewhere you pass every day — a shelf, a mantel, the corner of a desk — and catch the light the way a window of colored glass does. Your dog or cat's face is built from panes of deep, saturated color, each one raised so the surface has real depth under your fingertips. Their name sits below in a raised script. It comes in a walnut shadow box, so it can hang on a wall or stand on its own.

A made-to-order portrait keepsake, 12 inches square (30 cm), created from one photo you send us. The whole surface carries about 4 mm of raised, layered relief you can feel with your fingertips. It sits recessed in a solid walnut shadow box frame with a soft interior shadow around the edge.

Two Styles — Same Photo, Two Ways of Seeing It

Both styles are made from the same photo and cost the same. Which one suits your pet depends mostly on their markings:

  • Stained Glass — large, bold panes of color, the way a leaded window reads. Graphic and modern, and it carries across a room. Best for pets with strong, clear markings: black-and-white faces, blazes, masks, sharp color breaks.
  • Pebble — many small rounded stones set close together, softer and more detailed up close. Best for long coats, subtle shading, and faces where the charm is in the fine gradation rather than bold shapes.

The photo gallery shows the same subject rendered both ways, side by side, so you can see the difference before you choose.

How the Personalization Works
  1. Choose a style — pebble or stained glass.
  2. Send one photo of your dog or cat — a clear, well-lit shot of the face works best. Eyes in focus matters more than resolution.
  3. Tell us their name as you want it to read. It is set in raised script beneath the portrait, with clear space between the name and the face.
Materials

A solid walnut shadow box frame, with the portrait set recessed inside and a soft interior shadow around the edge. The portrait surface is built up in layered relief — about 4 mm deep — in a glass mosaic idiom: large panes of saturated color in the stained glass style, or many small rounded stones in the pebble style. The name is set in raised script beneath the portrait. It hangs on a wall or stands on a shelf.

Sizes & Dimensions
12 in / 30 cm square — the one most people chooseabout 2.2 lb
20 in / 50 cm square — a statement piece for a wallabout 4.7 lb
8 in / 20 cm square — small, for a desk or a narrow shelfabout 1 lb
Raised surface depth (all sizes)about 4 mm
Framesolid walnut shadow box, hangs or stands

For scale: the 12 inch reads as the main object on a shelf or mantel — a little wider than a sheet of letter paper is tall. The 8 inch is genuinely small; it suits a desk or a bedside table rather than a wall. The photo gallery has all three side by side.

Best For
  • The first year after losing a dog or cat, when a photo feels too plain and an urn feels too final — something in between, that belongs in the living room
  • A sympathy gift for someone grieving a pet, sent straight to them
  • A gift for a dog mom or dog dad whose best friend is still here — same portrait, their pet's face, their name underneath
  • Two of them: siblings who grew up with the same dog, or a pair for two pets — the Set of 2 costs $10 less than ordering two singles
  • Cats too — both styles work, and the style guide above applies the same way
Care

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; the raised surface holds a little dust in the deeper lines, and a dry brush lifts it out. This is an indoor piece — keep it out of long direct sun and away from damp rooms. Handle it by the frame rather than the face.

Honest Notes

  • Both styles work by simplifying — color and shape rather than fine fur detail. These are portraits in a mosaic idiom, not photographic likenesses.
  • It is an indoor keepsake, not outdoor or garden decor.
  • Made to your pet and your name, so we cannot restock or resell it — see the returns note in the FAQ below.

Questions people ask

Which style should I choose — pebble or stained glass?
Go by your pet's markings. Stained glass uses large bold panes and suits strong, clear markings — black-and-white faces, blazes, masks. Pebble uses many small rounded stones and suits long coats and subtle shading. Both are the same price and made from the same photo. The gallery shows the same subject rendered both ways.
Will my pet's face and the name be properly centered?
Yes. Every portrait is laid out on a fixed template that keeps the face centered in the panel and holds clear space between the face and the name below, so the two never crowd each other. Off-center personalization is the single most common complaint in this category and we build against it deliberately.
Which size should I get?
The 12 inch / 30 cm is what most people choose and what the photos show — it reads as the main object on a shelf or mantel. The 20 inch / 50 cm is a wall statement piece. The 8 inch / 20 cm is genuinely small: a desk or bedside size, not a wall size. There is a side-by-side size comparison in the gallery.
How big is the 12 inch, really?
12 inches square, 30 cm — a little wider than a sheet of letter paper is tall. The raised surface adds about 4 mm of depth, and it sits recessed inside the shadow box.
What photo should I send?
One clear, well-lit photo of the face, with the eyes in focus. A phone photo is fine. Straight-on or three-quarter angles work best. Very dark, blurry, or heavily backlit photos are the ones that give trouble — if yours is borderline we will tell you before we start.
Can you do two pets?
One pet per portrait gives the best result at this size, because both styles work in blocks of color and two faces halve the space each one gets. For two pets we recommend the Set of 2 — two 12 inch portraits that hang or stand together, and it costs $10 less than two singles.
Can I mix styles in a Set of 2?
A set is made in one style so the pair reads as a matched pair. If you want one of each, order two singles — same price either way.
How long does it take?
We do not promise a specific date; if you have an occasion in mind, tell us when you order and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic.
Does it hang or stand?
Both. The walnut shadow box is made to hang flat on a wall or stand on a shelf, mantel, or side table without a separate easel. The 20 inch weighs about 4.7 lb, so use a wall hook rated for at least 10 lb rather than one rated right at the weight.
Can I return it?
Because each one is made to your pet and your name, we cannot accept returns for a change of mind. If it arrives damaged, or if what we made does not match what you ordered, send us a photo and we will remake it at no cost.
Is this a real stained glass window?
No — it is a portrait in a glass mosaic style, made to be looked at in room light rather than mounted in a window. It does not need to be backlit.
