Unity in the Community-Durham, NC

Exposing the community of Durham, NC to picture weave is time consuming, but it can be exciting to exposed people to a new gift idea. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the expression when people see that a beautiful afghan, wall hanging, pillow, or tote bag has been jacquard woven from a photo. Note all the products are woven, not printed into 100% machine washable cotton. Concept Seventeen has been doing this for about 3 years, and so we are experts in the field who loves to be challenged on what we can do with Picture. Check us out at www.iPictureweave.com and www.PictureOnARug.com and see if you can challenge Concept Seventeen, today.

Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show-Durham, NC

Over the past few months, Concept Seventeen have been trying to introduce to wedding professionals through the Perfect Wedding Guide to custom photo woven heirlooms. We participated in the Bridal Show on Sept. 14, 2008 to evaluate picture weave as a new potential gift to the parents of the bride and groom. One of the best ways that we have made a picture weave blanket so far, is to make a collage that describes a family "full circle" as a new member is entering the family. The collage afghan has the couple up top in a picture with pics from the bride childhood when they are small on the bottom. Similarly, another afghan is made similarly for the groom's parents, except pictures from the groom pictures are the bottom. Further, it would give a couple a new way to display their picture. Over a lifetime, one couple will have many pictures together and eventually the ones will from their significant day will be stored on a shelf in a scrapbook. How about using one of the pictures as an afghan that can last for years. Further, this could be a generational gift. The imagination is the only limit to picture weave.
