Anyone know how much these things cost, also? Also is there even a name for this kind of art?

I don't remember exactly because it was awhile ago, but I want to say with all that it was around $60. But I know that you can have a small one where there is only a character for the first letter and then they just write the rest of your name-those are really cute too and aren't as expensive.
Originally Posted By lil_kim2005 That's cool! What are the letters in your name and what do they look like on the picture? Like what shape/character is each letter? Just wondering. $60 is a LOT but you got it framed and erm, it was your 50th of course so I guess that makes sense haha.
Originally Posted By RickRom I'm almost certain the cost is by the size, and not the letter, but I could be wrong. I have 2. One says in small letters "To all who come to this happy place... WELCOME! The Welcome is in large letters. I had it done near the Matterhorn. It is framed and matted. It is apprx 30" x 12". The other we had done for my daughter. It has all her favorite princesses. It is also the same size. This one was painted at the new Garden Walk outdoor mall. I like both, but I have to say the lady at the Garden Walk did a fantastic job on my daughter's. Both were in the $60- $90 range.

My Sister only has four letters and she did a whole Peter Pan theme. She had Peter, Tink, a pirate ship and some feathers.
Originally Posted By bobiascastle I got one last year but didn't get a frame, trust them when they say you wont find a frame somewhere else. Mine is still unframed but one day it will be in my front entry way. I got "To those who come to this Happy Place, WELCOME" I love it.

Originally Posted By EmmaJayne <<I got one last year but didn't get a frame, trust them when they say you wont find a frame somewhere else>> I found a frame only slightly to big for mine at KMart..only cost me about eight dollars..then I payed a framing shop another ten to make a matte (is that the word?) to go around it.. not ideal but I didn't want to risk an expensive frame on a 14 hour flight.
Originally Posted By Mr F I use to work for the Company that names Those Names Things. It's called Letter Brush Art by Kaman's Art Shoppes. They are hella expensive and they come in Weird sizes so that you'll HAVE to by a frame from them which will fit your picture. It's a scam.

Every frame shop on earth, from Michael's to JoAnn to Aaron Brothers to Prints Plus to your local art and framing shop makes frames in *any* *size* *you* *want* *or* *need*. Every one of these places will have more frame styles to chose from than any single small "Art Shoppe".
