The quote pieces

The kid's actual words, hand-cut from gold or silver metal, floated on cardstock with a standoff so the letters catch light and throw a shadow. Framed. Signed bottom-right with the kid's name and age.

How it works

1. The order. Type the quote. Pick a size, metal, and frame. Add your kid's name and age for the signature line. Pay in full at checkout.
2. We mock up. You approve. The studio sends you a digital mockup showing the letter style, spacing, and where the signature lands. You approve the design before any metal is cut.
3. Cut, frame, ship. The studio cuts the letters, floats them on cardstock, frames, signs, and ships. 7–10 days from approval pending current commissions.

What's in the piece

• Hand-cut metal letters (brass for gold, aluminum for silver)
• Cardstock with standoff mounting
• Frame in your choice of beaded wood natural (limited supply), natural oak, brown oak, navy metal, black metal, or sage metal
• Signed bottom-right, hand-lettered, kid's name and age
• Built by hand in Minneapolis

About the mockup

What the mockup shows: your quote, the letter style, spacing, and where the signature goes. The design decisions you're approving.

What the mockup doesn't show: the metal's reflectivity, the shadow from the standoff, the slight irregularity of hand-cut letters. Those land in the finished piece. The mockup is flat. The piece moves.

The mockup is the design contract. The piece is the proof.

The fine print

• Quote length: 50 characters for small, 60 for medium, 95 for large. Longer quotes possible on custom sizes.
• Frame and metal don't affect price. Buyer's choice at order.
• Beaded wood natural is limited supply. If sold out, the studio will reach out before cutting.
• Ships within the US for a flat $10.
• One-of-one. No prints. No reproductions.
