Cut by hand.
Burned by heart.
Made for one.
Bespoke paper-cut portraits and pyrography keepsakes, handcrafted by master artisans from your photograph — proofed with you before a single cut is made.
Fifteen hundred years ago, Chinese artisans first turned a sheet of red paper into a story. Today, our studio turns your photograph into one — cut by hand, sealed with our name.
The Paper-Cut Portrait
From a single photograph, our master hand-cuts your likeness in crimson xuan paper — one unbroken sheet, mounted beneath glass in a hardwood frame.
Fire on Wood
Pyrography portraits burned line by line into linden board. Weddings, pets, memorials — permanence written in flame.
Van Gogh, Rebuilt in Bloom
Sunflowers reconstructed from dried botanicals, petal by petal — a painting you can almost smell.
The Velvet Flower, Worn
Silk-wire velvet blossoms for pendant and ear — the intangible-heritage craft, made to leave the house with you.
One photograph in.
An heirloom out.
Four steps. One piece.
Made only for you.

Sealed & Shipped
Framed, sealed with the studio chop, insured and tracked to your door worldwide.
Only 20 portraits leave the studio each month — hands, it turns out, don't scale.
The preview sold me before I paid. What arrived was better than the preview.
My late dog, burned into wood. I cried when I opened it. Worth every cent.
It hangs in our hallway and every guest asks where it's from.
A studio, not a factory.
Mrehloy is a small workshop of paper-cut masters, pyrography artists, and flower crafters. We take so few commissions because each one is made the slow way — by a person, from your photograph, with a name signed to the back.
When your piece arrives, the red seal on its certificate is our promise: no machines did this. We did.
Every cut, signed
