I have a couple of these mini macrame wall hangings on my shop! They are a ton of fun to make.

This is a long shot. For our wedding my husband and I were gifted a set of four blue and white china plates. They had quotes on them, with drawings (not patterns). I can’t recall the exact quotes.

Sometime in the last decide and multiple cross country moves, they’ve been lost. I’ve been searching for them online for years with no luck.

Does anyone have or make something like this and might know how I can find a replacement? This is my Hail Mary!

Hi lovely people :)

I’ve listed the results I got with all the free software I’ve tried. I hope you’ll find it useful.

I’ve listed design software and software that can be used to create mock-ups to display your products for sale on Etsy.

I hope this will be useful and save time if you’re also starting out :)

I think it’s probably all relevant, I create wall art but I hope it will help most others too :)

I’ve tried to include the info I couldn’t find out from Google searches. This info is:

- What’s good about each resource.

- The results I actually got.

- What specific limitations each has that restricted the results.

- What the resources are like when you actually use them. (I found this quite different to what I expected from looking over the websites.)

Please vote up if you find it helpful :)

Feel free to cross post, send to other’s etc. but please give me credit. Thanks :) :) :)

The reviews:

Gravit Designer (Free version only):

GOOD: All my designs were built on this alone. An all in one resource. I’m amazed at what you get for free. I definitely recommend.

MISSING: There is a ‘skew’ feature but there is no ability to squash only one side of an image (you can squash and expand the whole but not just one side).

SPECIFIC INABILITY: This means you can’t adjust your image to follow a vanishing point and so fit it in to the correct perspective of a background image. In the case of displaying posters, this means pasting your image onto the image of a room leaves the image you pasted looking awkward, out of place and very unprofessional.

Canva (Free resources only):

GOOD:

a. Easy to use, loads of places to start. A must try.

b. Can simply paste your wall art into pre-made mock-ups of fully furnished rooms.

c. The ‘Edit’ feature allows you to change the overall colour tone of the entire image making it easier to fit your image to the pre-made mock-ups.

LIMITS: When you actually get down to using it, you realise the results of the free mock-ups don’t really compare to those of other sellers. Mine looked crude and second rate in comparison.

SPECIFIC INABILITIES:

a. (I know some do but they’re not very good) The first key inability is that you can’t add shading and lighting reflections that go over the image you’ve pasted into the mock-up. This makes your image look unrealistic and obviously a computer generated and pasted item.

b. The same as Gravit Designer, there is a skew feature but no ability to squash only one side of an image. This again means you can’t adjust your image to follow a vanishing point and so fit it in to the correct perspective of a background image, leaving an awkward result.

www.freepik.com (Free features only)

GOOD: Many free images that can be used, attribution required.

LIMITS: Looking through, there seems loads of options for ‘Shadow’ and ‘Lighting’ overlays that can be pasted over your images. However! On actually using, I found they didn’t work. Though they looked as though they had no backgrounds (and so you would just have the lighting effects over your image) they actually did have backgrounds that couldn’t be removed and so were just a solid image pasted over yours. I tried the ‘Remove Background’ tool on the site but it didn’t actually work for any of the images I tried. I tried 8 images from different posters. All were the same or had other problems leaving them unusable.

NOTE: I don’t know about other types of images on this site or paid options, they might be great.

https://www.pexels.com/

GOOD: Loads of free stock images. Some, really good :)

LIMITS: Without the abilities to add the effects of:

a. A vanishing point perspective.

b. Lighting and shading.

What you paste into the backgrounds looks obviously pasted on and just looks awful.

https://placeit.net/ (Free features only)

GOOD: Loads of mock-ups available. Many, really good :)

LIMITS: In the free version at least, I found the limits to be the same as Canva. If your design software has no ability to squash one side of your image to give perspective or add lighting effects, then the images you paste in don’t look at all right.

Good luck :)
