On July 5th I wrote stating that I was going to send one of my photos to Canvas on Demand to have it made into a 16 x 20″ canvas. I decided to send this photo in:
It’s a photo of a butterfly that I literally chased around my yard for a week trying to get a photo. It only allowed me about five minutes of that whole week to take photos and I snapped quite a few. I believe this was the best of the bunch.
I went to the Canvas on Demand website and following the very simple instruction I choose the size and style of canvas that I wanted, the frame type and uploaded my photo.
The company sent an email shortly after I completed my order and we corresponded by email as to when the canvas would be complete. They must have started working on it pretty much right away because my lovely canvas arrived on July 13th, only 8 days after I’d ordered it!
Talk about fast! They say it takes four days to create a canvas, then they had to ship it from North Carolina to Toronto, Canada. Honestly the earliest I thought I might get my fabulous canvas was July 20th or later given how slow some delivery companies can be.
Would you like to see my beautiful new canvas? Here you go:
That photo really doesn’t do it justice. I’ll try to get an even better one, perhaps once I’ve decided where to hang it. It’s lovely though isn’t it? The butterfly looks so real. It makes you want to reach out and touch it. When our relatives visited this past weekend they just loved the canvas and might even get one of their own.
The canvas is so beautiful that I’m actually thinking of getting some of my other photos made into canvas’. They’d make great gifts at Christmas time or even for a birthday.
I just had a bright idea. If you’ve been reading this site for a year you might remember that last August Chris and I were part of a Hindu wedding ceremony when Chris’ cousin got married. Their anniversary is coming up in a month and one of the photos that I took at their wedding might make a beautiful anniversary gift. After seeing my own canvas I’m certain they’d love it.
I love Canvas on Demand.
They were in touch with me throughout the whole process so I can honestly say that they have excellent customer service. As for their product – well you can see the results for yourself. Their canvas’ are beautiful.
I’m just so pleased!
If you’ve ever thought of doing something like this please think of visiting Canvas on Demand. You won’t regret it.
wow, what camera takes such good photos? nice quality.
by the way, i bought the “sony w80”, not the “sony w55”

What a great idea – the photo was just breath taking – now wonder you are pleased and thanks for sharing both the idea and the canvas!
Btw: come and get your award from my latest post! ^-^
That is a stunner of a picture. Such detail.
The canvas version came out really nice! I love the photo itself too though – really sharp. Congratulations with it!
Absolutely beautiful! Another few photos like that and you can open your own gallery.
wow, amazing pics. I really like those nice photoes, but I don’t know how to do by myself… what a shame….
anyway, nice blog…
The photo is great !
Oh wow! The canvas turned out so awesome! The picture is fantastic Tricia, I like it a LOT!!!
Very nice! I am thinking of getting one for my wife for our anniversary. Thanks for the idea. I’ll let you know if I get on and how I like it.

Hi Tricia- I did order one for my wife. I just got it today, and I love it! Thanks for the idea. Now our anniversary is one week from today, so that is going to be the toughest part, waiting to give it to her.
Take care,
Jim
Jim you’ll have to take a photo of it and let me see! I’m glad to hear that you decided to try this out and that you’re pleased with the results. Is it a wedding photo or a nice photo of your wife that you had made into a canvas?
I know when I got mine I wanted to walk around with it showing everyone! I can imagine that you’re in for a very hard week if you’re trying to keep this a secret. 🙂
I’ll definitely be taking a photo of it after I give it to her this Friday. It is a wedding photo, the hardest part was choosing which photo. Canvas On Demand had great customer service too. My experience with them was great and I think it is money well spent. I’ll probably be posting about my experience like you did, after she gets it of course. I can’t wait to give it to her!!
That is just beautiful, Tricia! I wish I had your touch for photography, and yes, those guys are the best!
Hi Tricia. Finally found some time to take a couple photos and post about my canvas. If you’re interested- http://jims-rants.blogspot.com/2007/08/canvasondemand-turn-any-photo-into-work.html
Thanks again for the great idea!

Great image and the colors of the photo are wonderful. The canvas print came out excellent.
Keep up the great work!
