A set of eight inch glass photo tiles in a child layout. One picture per year, hung rather than stood. Cure times differ by paint, so check the can.
The yearly picture most households already have is a school portrait, which is a close head and shoulders and therefore loses nothing to a square tile. That makes this the easiest sequence in the range to assemble, since the material already exists and is already the right shape. A staircase is the usual home for a run that is meant to be walked past rather than sat in front of.
The image is UV printed behind the glass, not engraved. Engraved glass renders an image in white frosting, which on a child's portrait loses the uniform, the hair and most of the face. Printing keeps the picture as the camera took it. It mounts magnetically on wall pads, without nails.
Up a staircase that works particularly well, since the line has somewhere to go. School portraits crop to a square cleanly, which makes them the easiest source in the range.
A sequence wants to be long rather than large. Eight inch tiles let a dozen years sit along a hall or up a staircase in a space that six ten inch tiles would already have filled, and on a run that is read as a line the number of tiles matters more than the size of any one of them. The smaller size is also more forgiving of the earlier pictures, which are usually the worst files in the set: a nursery photograph taken on an old phone holds up at eight inches and shows every fault at ten. The ten inch set is the one to take where the wall is a feature in a living room rather than a line along a corridor, and where the photographs are good enough throughout to stand the enlargement.
Square, rectangle, round and hexagon are the four shapes. The surface wants to be smooth, clean and dry. Hang it 24 hours after the pads are placed.
Wallpaper, bare concrete and damp walls are all unsuitable. A set can mix sizes and shapes, saving up to 65%. Colour Enhancement can be added for $1.99 per image.
