Our AI draws it
Your photo or your words become a design in about a minute: your portrait in glossy shards, inside the block, on a wall. Drawing it is free, as many times as you like.

We cut and set it by hand
A person cuts every shard, lays them along the fur or the hair, joins them with fine gold seams and seals it all in clear acrylic. Only once you order it.

Your photo stays yours
It is used to draw your portrait and nothing else: not published, not resold, not used to train anything. We delete it when your order is closed.
What makes a good photo?
Their face in daylight, looking roughly at the camera, close enough to see the eyes. A phone photo is perfect. For a love portrait, everyone’s face in view. No good photo? Switch to “Describe it with AI” and tell us about them.
How big is it?
Every portrait comes in 30 × 30 cm (12 × 12 in) or 50 × 50 cm (20 × 20 in). You choose the size after you have seen your design.
Is it glass or acrylic?
The block is optical-clear cast acrylic: as clear as glass, a fraction of the weight, and it doesn’t shatter. The shards inside are glossy hand-cut resin, which is what gives the stained-glass shine, joined with fine gold seams.
When do I pay?
Drawing your portrait is free. You pay at checkout, and nothing is cut before you have seen your design and ordered it.
How does it hang?
With the four standoffs in the wall kit: a paper drill template, four screws and plugs. Quick with a drill.
