Cici Art Factory Review + Giveaway!!! [CLOSED]

I recently stumbled upon the unique art collections at Cici Art Factory, and have just become captivated with the originality & vibrance in each piece of art!

There's the Lotsa collection, which I find quite mesmerising & delightful! Mix & match the original paintings, choosing among the birdies, chicks, frogs and milk, to create a unique & creative atmosphere for your little ones to have "lotsa" fun in!

Then there is the portraits collection. Filled with beautiful whimsical original paintings, the portraits collection is where you'll find that one of a kind painting that will become a family keepsake, creating childhood memories in each generation it touches. What I find really neat about the portraits collection is that you're actually able to customize the painting to resemble your child! Hair, eyes, skin tones--your little one will actually envision themselves in the painting! If that's not cool enough, should you find yourself needing more personalization options, the artist is happy to work with you to create just what you are looking for! By the way, the artist, Liz Clay (also a mom of three!), is quite friendly and wonderful to work with!

If you like the portraits collection, but would rather something smaller, check out the mini paintings. These too are customizable, just smaller, and are perfect for a baby shower or birthday gift!

Last, but not least! For those of you looking for an affordable way to decorate your nursery or playroom, check out these prints! Each print is professionally printed on 110 lb paper with archival inks and is packaged in a clear, biodegradable sleeve. They're signed and dated on the front with a white border for framing. The 8" x 8" or 8" x 10" size easily fits into any standard frame for display. And, for only $19.95, these are quite affordable!

I was actually given an opportunity to check out both the l'avion print & the match made in heaven print! These may not be original paintings, but they sure look like originals! The prints capture the texture of the original artwork, along with the vibrant colors. To say that they are gorgeous is certainly an understatement! I can't wait to frame these beautiful pieces of art & put them up in Logan's nursery. I know they will definitely be treasured by my children for many years to come.


Win It! The incredibly talented & generous artist behind Cici Art Factory, Liz Clay, has offered to give one lucky Design Baby reader THREE prints of his or her choice (that's a $60 value!)!
