The pet design on a bell-shaped glass ornament with your photograph. The bell is taller than it is wide, which makes it the shape for an animal photographed sitting up rather than lying down.
A dog sitting, a cat standing on a windowsill, a bird, a horse photographed head on: all of these are vertical compositions, and every other outline in the range crops them top and bottom to fit. The bell takes them as they are. If your picture is an animal stretched out across a sofa, the square is the shape that will hold it and this one is not. The proportion is close to that of a phone photograph held upright, which is how most of these pictures are taken in the first place.
The shape narrows towards the top, so the upper corners of the photograph go. Indoors that is wall or ceiling and outdoors it is sky, so the loss is almost always nothing at all. Keep the animal central and reasonably low in the frame and the crop is considerably kinder than the silhouette suggests.
Your photo stays in full colour, so a black or brindle coat keeps its real colour, markings and shine. Thin glass transmits light, so a bulb behind the ornament is what lifts the picture out of it. Hung near the end of a branch it swings slightly, and with a light behind it that movement catches the glass in a way the flat-sided shapes do not manage. It is one of the few ornaments that is better placed loosely than firmly.
The largest size is the one that makes the shape worth choosing, since the middle size is square in proportion and gives up most of the height advantage that brought you here. The bell is the most traditionally Christmas of our outlines, which suits an ornament meant to put the animal on the tree alongside everybody else rather than to mark an absence. A Santa pet version is also made, and a plain bell with no design at all for anybody who wants the photograph alone.
There are seven outlines. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. Build your own set rather than take a fixed one. Ten per cent off at two, fifty at fifteen. Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image.
