Metallic Gallery Wrap

Always, My Love - Metallic Gallery Wrap

I was just thrilled when I was asked to have a gallery wrap made. Ever since I’d seen that White House Custom Colour offered them, I’d wanted to have one of my images put on a canvas so I could see it in person. Let me tell you, WHCC does not disappoint! They did an excellent job – as always!

We ordered my image, titled Always, My Love, as a 24 x 16 Metallic Gallery Wrap. It had a matte finish applied to it to protect the canvas. The actual photographic print is created and its emulsion is stripped, bonded to canvas and wrapped around a 1 1/2″ deep wood frame.

I absolutely love the Kodak Endura Metallic photographic paper. The colors are amazing and there’s so much depth to the images. Also, you can see just a slight shimmer which I thought looked really great. The canvas itself has a nice subtle texture, and they come to you ready to hang, right out of the box.

The wrap arrived in perfect condition. I wish I’d thought to take pictures of the packaging before unpacking it. It was pretty brilliant.

I wanted to say a special thanks to talented photographer Jessica Grieves of Hey Girl, Nice Shot for her post on Metallic Gallery Wraps. It was so helpful to see her wonderful pictures and description when I was trying to decide on the details before ordering my own wrap. Thank you so much, Jessica! I’m hoping my post will be helpful to someone searching out information on these too.

This pictures in this post are all of the gallery wrap itself, not the computer files used to print it. If you’d like to see some real detail, you can click on any of the pictures below, and they’ll open a very large version of the picture. You can see in this last picture how nicely the back is finished. (You could have an open back with wire if you prefer it.)

Someday I’ll have a few of these lovely wraps to hang in our home. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this one!
