A slate plate cut to a heart, printed in full colour with your photograph or lettering, in three sizes. The stone itself is the heart, not a shape printed on it.
The heart stamp plate prints a heart onto a rectangular plate. This one is cut from the slate, so the object is a heart from any angle and its edges are riven stone rather than a printed line. That is a more emphatic version of the same idea and a less practical one: there are no corners to stand on and nothing to protect the points in transit.
A heart loses all four corners of a photograph and narrows to a point at the bottom, so anything near an edge disappears. Crop to one subject in the middle of the frame. A couple side by side works, since the shape is wider than it is tall at every size; a group standing in a row does not.
The image goes straight onto the slate face with no white base printed underneath it. That means the stone shows through: pale areas pick up its charcoal tone, colours come out deep and a little muted, and the riven texture stays faintly visible across the picture. The heart stamp plate is the alternative, printing a white patch first so the colours read as they would on paper.
The stone is split rather than milled. Edges are riven; no two plates match. It stands unaided, or sits in an ordinary plate stand.
Resolution cannot be added later. Start from the largest version you have, because a heart crop throws away a great deal before anything is printed. Lettering can be printed instead of a photograph, and on bare stone white text reads considerably better than pale colour does.
Between the two heart formats the choice is really about what you want the stone to do. Here it is the object itself, with the picture sitting in it; on the stamp plate the stone is a mount and the picture sits on it. Neither is better made than the other, and the decision is easier once it is put that way round.
The picture is printed by sublimation, not engraved. Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image.
