Q. How long does it take to make a custom piece?
A. A
personal consultation is always best to determine the time needed for your custom piece because so many factors are involved
in determining how long a custom mosaic piece will take to complete.
Example: 1. The details
of the photograph
2. Whether or not backgrounds will be included
3. The colors involved in re-creating an image
However;
an order should be made a minimum of one month in advance.
Q.
Can I choose my own vase & design?
A. I will always give you my expert opinion on which style of vase may
look best for the picture you are having created but you make the final decision as to what you want. However; when it comes
to painting the vases; I will ask if you want a specific color scheme and go with your desired color scheme but because it
is art, I never know what the final brush strokes will develop so I ask that you keep an open mind.
Q. If I give you one of my pictures how can I get it back?
A. I only
need a copy of your photo. You can email or mail me a copy of your photo but please do no send me any original pictures.
Q. Does the picture have to
be in good condition?
A. I can work with any photo. It can be any size, any color and in any format. I have
extensive experience with computer software and I can format any picture to the size you want. In most cases the mosaic image
will bring out the details and quality the picture may have lost over time.
Q.
Where can I see and buy your artwork besides online?
A. Some of these vases are also available at
