If you prepare it together

Leave some time to collect everyone's note. A suggested order:

  1. 1

    Start collecting the notes

    Share the collection link so everyone writes their own note. A week is a good window for a large group.

  2. 2

    Finish the design

    Upload the photo, go through the notes, design the cards. Your file is in your account right after payment.

  3. 3

    Print and paint

    Print the file at the size you chose and keep a day or two for painting. The notes need no paint.

Ready-made notes

A few lines from the ready-made pack for this day. You see them all in the editor and pick the ones you like.

Start with these notes
  • “You taught me to love the world”
  • “Your voice is still my safest place”
  • “All my good parts come from you”
  • “Home tastes like your cooking”
  • “You loved without ever getting tired”
  • “I grew up wrapped in your care”

Let everyone write a note

Share the collection link; everyone writes their note without an account. The notes land in your artwork by themselves; switch off the ones you do not want. You decide how many notes.

A portrait on your wall, your words inside

From afar it is a portrait; up close, the notes among the letters.

The thank-yous that never got said

Thanking Mom is hard; the sentence usually stops halfway. With Revelo, her photo becomes a portrait made entirely of letters, and your words are woven in between them. From across the room it is simply a portrait of her. Up close, it says everything you never quite managed to say.

How it works

  1. Choose a photo. Any photo where her face is clear, from today or from when she was your age.
  2. Write or collect the notes. Write your own, pick from the ready-made "For Mom" notes, or collect them from the family with one link. The pack includes notes like "Mom, you made every house we lived in feel like home."
  3. The notes are hidden in the portrait. Each sentence runs on among the letters; nobody notices them from afar.
  4. Print and paint. As the marked squares are painted, her portrait appears.

Design Mom's portrait

A gift from the whole family

You don't have to make it alone. Brothers, sisters, grandchildren and old friends can each add a line. For a big family's notes, A1 (23.4 × 33.1 in) or 70 × 100 cm leaves more room.

What to write

  • A memory from childhood: a meal, a song, a piece of advice
  • Something she taught you that you still do
  • A sacrifice you never thanked her for
  • One short line from each grandchild

Frequently asked questions

Is it a good Mother's Day gift?

Yes. Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday of May in the US, Canada and many other countries (the UK celebrates Mothering Sunday in March). Your files arrive right after payment, so leave a few days for printing and painting. It works just as well for a birthday or for no reason at all.

Can my siblings add their own notes?

Yes. Share one collection link with your siblings, the grandkids or Mom's oldest friends. Everyone writes their note without creating an account, and the notes are added to your artwork. You can switch off any note you don't want.

How will Mom read the notes?

The notes are hidden among the letters, so she can find them by looking closely. Each note can also be read as its own card on the private gift page that comes with the artwork. Write the link on a card or stick the QR code on the back of the print.

What do I receive?

A printable painting file, the painted preview, an outline view, designed note cards and a link to a private gift page where the notes are read. Everything is in your account right after payment. We don't print or ship; you print the file wherever you like.
