Fancy win­ning a bespoke typo­graphic print in time for Valentine’s Day?

Coulson Macleod has teamed up with Rock My Wed­ding — the UK’s most pop­u­lar wed­ding blog — and we’re giv­ing away not one, but two, bespoke prints.

The first to choose from is our bespoke ‘What’ print on solid lime­stone with a hand­made reclaimed tim­ber frame (worth £169).

The second choice is our bespoke hand­made ‘What’ print with a solid oak frame (worth 239).

Both prints can be per­son­al­ised by adding your own names and a date at the bot­tom. Unless of course you hap­pen to be called Mark & Han­nah and you’re get­ting mar­ried on June 15^th 2012. You can also change the col­our of the text if you so wish.

The words were writ­ten by Coulson for Macleod (yes, that’s us) when we met & fell in love.

And, as Coulson & Macleod are get­ting mar­ried this year, we thought we’d share the love.

‘Wed­ded Bliss’ print on solid lime­stone by Coulson Macleod

This is our ‘Wed­ded Bliss’ print. Lovely rough pit­ted solid lime­stone. Dis­tressed typo­graphy. Avail­able framed or unframed. The ideal wed­ding gift.

And these are the words…

• The more you invest in a mar­riage, the more valu­able it becomes.
• Men who have a pierced ear are bet­ter pre­pared for mar­riage. They’ve exper­i­enced pain and bought jewellery.
• New­ly­weds become oldy­weds, and oldy­weds are the reason that fam­il­ies work.
• A suc­cess­ful mar­riage requires fall­ing in love many times, always with the same person.
• Mar­riages are made in heaven. But so are thun­der, light­ning, tor­nadoes and hail.
• Mar­riage is the alli­ance of two people, one of whom never remem­bers birth­days and the other who never for­gets them.
• Happy mar­riages begin when we marry the one we love, and they blos­som when we love the ones we marry.
• Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.
• The secret to a good mar­riage is under­stand­ing that it must be total, it must be per­man­ent and it must be equal.
• Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hope­ful, and endures through every circumstance.
• Mar­riage is more than find­ing the right per­son. It is being the right person.
• A heart in love hears music even when there is silence.

Coulson Macleod bespoke typo­graphic art has been fea­tured in the 100^th issue of Wed­ding Ideas magazine.

Wed­ding Ideas fea­tured our ‘What’ bespoke typo­graphic print call­ing it a great gift idea. And indeed it is.

Our bespoke ‘What’ print fea­tures the words (writ­ten by ourselves) from our lim­ited edi­tion ‘What Is Love?’ print (see below)…

It’s no secret that Coulson and Macleod are get­ting mar­ried. Which means we’re pay­ing far more atten­tion to wedding-related blogs and websites.

Before being engaged, I looked through the wed­ding blogs for more aes­thetic reas­ons. They are gen­er­ally beau­ti­fully styled. And yes, you get to spy on other people’s wed­dings, which is strictly a girl-thing.

One of our favour­ites is Rock My Wed­ding and we have a great rela­tion­ship with them. Not least because one of the founders, Char­lotte, owns one of our ‘Love Makes The Ride Worth­while’ prints.

Char­lotte even fea­tured the print on a post called Wherever I lay my (fancy) hat… that’s my home.

And we get many Rock My Wed­ding read­ers becom­ing Coulson Macleod customers.

But now that I’m a bride-to-be, I can’t get enough of their site. The design is great. The con­tent is fresh. And they main­tain a high stand­ard of the wed­dings that they fea­ture. All unique and lovely.

So the fact they were extremely keen to col­lab­or­ate with us made us very happy.

So, if you fancy win­ning one of our new ‘Love Unlim­ited’ prints in time for Valentine’s Day, go on over and check out Rock My Wed­ding to find out how.

Intro­du­cing our latest cre­ations and six per­fect little gifts. Guess what we’ve called this collection?

The Gift Col­lec­tion. Obviously!

A solid square of gor­geous reclaimed wood. Hand-painted white. Then over-printed with dis­tressed typo­graphy. The art­work is packed in a nat­ural jute hes­sian mater­ial and presen­ted in a Coulson Macleod–branded gift box made from recycled cardboard.

The art­work dimen­sions are 21cm x 21cm x 2cm and the Gift Box meas­ures 26cm x 26cm x 3.5cm.

The reclaimed wood is cut and sanded by hand before being painted. We retain any defects in the salvaged tim­ber to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. And they are full of char­ac­ter. These can include knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks, so each art­work is totally unique.

Now you never need worry about what to buy someone.

Our latest typo­graphic col­lec­tion ‘Words’ is now avail­able to buy online at Coulson Macleod.

Our ‘Words’ col­lec­tion is made in the exactly same way as our hugely pop­u­lar ‘Love’ col­lec­tion. Gor­geous chunky hand­made prints. But only half the size, just 29cm x 29cm x 8cm.

We’ve kept the lovely vintage-style, with a rough-sawn solid oak frame sur­round­ing a white-washed oak panel prin­ted with dis­tressed typo­graphy. All hand­made with love in the UK.

Our ‘Words’ col­lec­tion is unlim­ited in print quantity.

For any­one inter­ested in know­ing just what goes into a Coulson Macleod wooden art piece… the oak panel is cut and sanded by hand before being covered with a coat of diluted white lac­quer wash to fill the grain, and then sanded and re-washed with the lac­quer a second time. The panel is then over-printed with UV ink. The mitred frame is hand­made using rough-sawn solid oak with a shadow rebate on the groove. We pur­pose­fully retain any defects in the oak to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. These can include knot holes, warps and water marks, so each frame is totally unique. The prin­ted panel is then encased into the frame which is then glued and pinned, ready for hanging.

Inspired by a cus­tomer who wanted a ‘Love’ print, but just half the size. And we loved it so much, we just had to cre­ate some more. Let us know if you like them!

Coulson Macleod now offers a per­son­al­iz­a­tion service.
