How to sign a birthday present in an original way. How to decorate a wedding gift: options and design ideas

All gifts have a hidden meaning. If a picture becomes the subject of donation, then it must carry a reflection of the donor's soul. Painting - It will delight a person and his descendants with her beauty for many years.

The article will discuss how to properly sign a painting as a gift if you are the author of the painting or if you have ordered a painting for production.

Can I donate a painting?

To begin with, it is worth figuring out whether it is worth giving a picture or is such a gift considered bad manners? The answer is unequivocal: you can donate pictures. You can present the following paintings to your loved ones:

Landscapes - they will be considered a talisman. It is important that a bright, colorful landscape is depicted that personifies happiness.

Still lifes - this painting should bring prosperity and abundance to the house. When choosing such an image, consider the interior design of the room where the painting will hang.
Portrait - it is worth giving only to those people who hold a high position and will gladly hang a picture with their image at home. There is no need to give a portrait to those who are modest - this can embarrass a person.

When you have chosen the picture that you want to buy or write for a loved one, then you should immediately think about the signature on the gift.

How to sign a painting if you painted it yourself

But it is better to do it in an original way in order to impress the person to whom the gift will be presented. To do this, remember famous artists and how they signed their paintings:

The Italian artist Dosso Dossi did not sign his paintings at all, but encrypted the signature in the image. You can borrow this idea and capture in the painting some symbols and objects that bring good luck to the person who will be given the painting. For example, this person loves white cats, then you can draw a small cat that will be in harmony with the general image and, at the same time, carry a secret meaning.
Marine painter Aivazovsky signed paintings in the sand, which was depicted on the canvas. You can also write your wish in the sand or draw it as if the congratulation was lined with stones. For example, picture a child playing on the beach and posting a greeting.

How to sign a painting that has been purchased

If you made a painting to order, then you can use the tips given in the previous paragraph. But if the painting was bought by you, then you should sign it differently.

How to sign a painting that has been purchased? It should be signed from the back, so as not to interfere with the content of the art object. On the reverse side of the canvas, you can write congratulations in verse or prose - this is a personal matter.

You should not write congratulations with felt-tip pens or markers that will be visible on the picture itself - this will ruin the gift.

Finally

A painting is a perfect gift for the soul. The piece of art will always remind you of you and bring joy. The picture always speaks of the good taste of the one who gave it and the excellent education of the one to whom it was presented.

This topic interested me, and not only me, after I learned that the author's collection of blogging articles "Pedagogical Blog: Present and Future" will soon be released. Nine best pedagogical bloggers became the authors of this unique book. The competition announced among bloggers has identified the winners who will receive a collection with autographs of the authors as a gift.

"Autograph(Old Greek αὐτός "myself" and γράφω "I write") - the author's own handwritten text. Autographs of famous scientists, writers and poets are kept in libraries and archives and are of particular value. A donative autograph on a valuable item (book, painting, gramophone record) is called script. "-so it says on Wikipedia.
So what we call an autograph is just the signature of a famous person on something. For example, having met a famous person (media person) somewhere, we can ask to leave our signature on a piece of paper, on a ticket, on a postcard, and some especially extravagant fans ask to sign on items of clothing or even on the body. Although in the latter case it seems to me stupid. How do you save the signature on the body? Don't wash? Or get a tattoo? Only in this case all the value of the autograph is lost.
An autograph is a handwritten inscription.
An autograph is a short stroke with a pen, faceless, without specifying who exactly this autograph was given and for what.
If you want to inscribe something of value to a specific person, then this will be called "Inscript"(from late lat. inscriptum - inscription, title) - handwritten dedication on a book, gramophone record, print, portrait, photograph, antique item.
The history of the inscript is very interesting.
The first inscripts, which appeared at the time of the first printed books, are considered to be of great value. And although these were just technical notes from scribes, binders, typographers and sellers, they are of great value.
Later, when the book became more accessible, owners, readers of the books and, finally, donors began to make various appraisal inscriptions. For example: "This book is thought to be nothing for the wise"; "I testify that there is no need for honor"; "This is a false story", "I read it with attention and reverence."
I will make a small digression. Children often make notes on the pages of the textbook. If this is not some kind of stupidity, such as "You are a fool!", Then any note can become very valuable over time. For example, a student did not do very well (ruined the book), left an inscription on the textbook, and then, quite unexpectedly, became famous and, a person who found this textbook in the future can become rich!
But if you get the idea, it was a joke. School property must be treated with care. And textbooks are exactly property, because we take them for temporary use in the library and must return them in good condition.
A.P. Chekhov playfully played on the widespread use of inscripts and the habit of writing on books on any occasion. One of his characters liked to leave behind thoughtful inscriptions on the books: "This book was read by me."
Currently, it is the gift, not the assessment, inscription that is considered the inscript.
In Soviet times, during a widespread shortage, a good book was considered the best gift. It was the books that were presented to the winners of various competitions, competitions and on the cover they made the inscription "The winner of the competition ... (and so on)".
Gradually, the custom of making inscriptions on books spread to other gifts: paintings, portraits, engravings, photographs, etc. But it is worth noting that the inscript is a donor's handwritten inscription, not a typographic inscription, or engraving on a donated item.
The inscript may contain the original signature of the donor and the date of the gift. The inscriptions are made either on the outside of the donated item, where space allowed free of text and images, for example, in the corner of the title page, or on the back, blank side of the page, photograph, print. Of particular value are the author's inscriptions - the dedication of the authors of works to their readers, listeners, colleagues.
Perhaps the most famous inscript is the author's inscription on the portrait of Zhukovsky, addressed to Pushkin in 1820

"To the winner-student from the defeated teacher"

This phrase of the recognized romantic poet is regarded as a recognition of the poetic superiority of the beginning poet, a tribute to his young talent.

What is the idea of congratulations: idea to create an inscription under erasable paint... You know, the results of winning in instant lotteries, the code for replenishing an account on a mobile phone and so on are covered with an erasable layer. So, now I will tell how to create such a coating at home and how to use it.

Let's start with the second point, so as not to run far from the photo at the beginning of the article.

On the postcard, the question:"Are you lucky in love? (Let's check - erase the cover on one of the hearts and read the inscription)"

This idea is essentially an unusual variant of forfeits. Bonus gifts for a loved one can be used as inscriptions (for example, breakfast in bed or sex, that is, coffee in bed, kisses, and so on)

You can go the other way: break the gift into parts or buy the main gift, and several additional inexpensive ones to it. Wrap and number gifts. And write numbers on the hearts.

Hide and hand the gifts in the order that will turn out when erasing the layer. Confused, but I hope you get it

We did this (I may have already mentioned this), and one of the additional gifts was a magic wand (such a luminous one, which is sold in children's toy stores)
It was said about the wand: "In fact, this is the most important gift, because it was with its help that we generated (created) all the others."
It turned out funny)))

Another option: write "How do I feel about you?" or "What do I think of you?"
And in the hearts there are answer options (all are good, of course! I love, I love dearly, I adore, and so on)

And another option: again, about the order of your actions. Let's say you plan to 1) sit in a cafe 2) go for a walk (although it's cold now, of course) or go ice skating 3) give a gift 4) go to an entertainment center to play something, and so on

A loved one erases the coating, and you implement the specified item, then another heart is erased and you give a gift (for example)

Of course, it is better to somehow warn that, say for these few hours, the time will be distributed in a magical way, so that the beloved is ready for this (he has his own plans and ideas, right?)

So, we finished with the topic of how to give and how to beat such a congratulation, let's get down to the practical part.

Download a template for printing a postcard (without an inscription - add an inscription manually)

The site recommended mixing acrylic with dishwashing detergent (2: 1) for making washable paint. And I wanted to experiment and make sure that this recipe works.

I had construction white acrylic and gouache, I added pink gouache to the acrylic to add shade. I printed out the hearts, wrote inside "I love you!" and painted over as follows:

Clean paint

Paint with Fairy and

Clean paint, which I applied to paper, previously coated with hygienic lipstick.

After drying, I took a coin and tried to wipe off the top coat of paint. The result is in the picture. Acrylic on hygienic lipstick won!

The paint is perfectly erased. I don’t know why it didn’t work with gouache, maybe the paper was smeared better under the acrylic ... I don’t even know. But there is a difference.

So here is a recipe for creating washable paint at home - apply a layer of hygienic lipstick on the paper, carefully remove the lumps and cover with acrylic (I remind you that I had ordinary building acrylic)

Mostly postcards are collected in this article, but there are a few exceptions))

For example, romantic gift idea number 61... Valentine pillow with a pocket for a postcard.

How to sign a book as a gift, sample signature

According to the rules of etiquette, only the author has the right to sign a book. Signing someone else's book is bad form.

You will say that a postcard can be lost, a book without a signature will become an ordinary book, and soon it will be forgotten where it came from, who gave it to you.

Of course, you are right, so let's proceed as follows: glue a signed card with wishes on a small drop of glue. The book is clean, the reminder will not be lost.

You need to sign the wish neatly, smoothly, beautifully. If your handwriting is not very good, ask someone you know or family to do.

But, even with a "clumsy" handwriting, you can write a good text from the heart. You can lightly fold the sheet so that the lines do not jump on top of each other.

We have come to the question of how to write a congratulation. Have a pen (or nib), blue or black ink, make sure it writes easily, does not smudge, does not leak, but does not skip. In a word, to write "like clockwork."

How to sign a book as a gift, a sample for a gift to friends, girlfriends

First of all, let's look at how to sign books as a gift to friends, girlfriends. The text of the congratulation should take into account the degree of intimacy with the person to whom the book is presented.

It is advisable to link your wishes with the subject of the book. The text should begin with the name of the person to whom the gift is given, in honor of which the present is made, at the end of the wishes, do not forget to indicate the date, put your signature.

Choosing this particular book, you somehow connected it with the person you decided to congratulate, try to express this relationship in words.

Sample:

Dear (Beloved) Tatiana, I congratulate you on International Women's Day on March 8, I present you with a collection of delicious oriental dishes, with the hope that you will invite me to their tasting.

Your friend Ilya, (date and signature).

Write from the heart what you want to wish a person, so that the words come from the heart. You can write congratulations in verse, borrow aphorisms of famous people.

Show originality, you can spice it up a little with humor, only without sarcasm and banter. A good book as a gift is nice, but when the original signature is attached to the book, it is doubly pleasant!

Your signature shows that this gift is from the heart, that you paid special attention, diligence. If you find it difficult to find the words, you are not sure how the congratulation will be perceived, then you can get by by indicating to whom, from whom, in honor of what, the date.

Or you can write a short letter containing parting words, wishes, instructions, just something that will be read with interest now, or in many years.

Such a message will return at the moment when the gift was made. It will be read with interest by your grandchildren when the book falls into their hands.

Expressions not desirable in book signatures

There are expressions that it is advisable not to write when decorating a gift. Many are too banal and hackneyed, others have a "double meaning".

The expression "for a long time" is more appropriate as a gravestone than for congratulations. And the "originality" of this "text" will not cause delight.

The expression "from the whole team, and from me personally" speaks of the excessive "modesty" of the donor. Leave the first part of the message, and give a separate gift on your own.

You can not make hints of age, physical disabilities and other features. For example, “my sweet bun (donut, donut, pie and so on)”, “favorite botanist”, “despite the fact that you are already over ..., you are still dear to me” and other “pearls”.

If the book is presented in honor of a holiday that is not related to professional activity, then you should not sign "the best teacher (driver, plumber, gynecologist)".

When giving a book to your dear woman, you do not need to list her statuses to “beloved wife, cook, mother”. If you finish the message with the words “from husband and children”, you will get a complete epitaph to the monument.

Congratulations to your boss

Congratulations for the boss should be written with respect to the chain of command. You need to turn to you, not to allow familiarity, excessive flattery. The expression, “For a beloved boss,” sounds ambiguous, replace “beloved” with “respected,” (fair, best, and so on).

Congratulations for children

When signing the book for children, express the hope that thanks to the gift, he will learn a lot of interesting things, open up new horizons for himself.

It is better for a child to choose a poetic congratulation, since, in general, children like poetry more than prose.
