No two engravings are exactly alike! Most engravings are done on photo frames, but I also engrave glassware, platters, and pretty much any smooth glass surface. All requested engravings carry a $25 non-refundable deposit. This covers general materials I may need to acquire and time spent on your project. Black and white (high contrast) engravings, with no shading are $20 per hour. Photo-realistic,
non-portraits are $25 per hour. Portraits are $30 per hour. Ornaments are $5 each plus shipping up to ten ornaments. 10 or more are $2 each plus shipping. When submitting a request, please send the photo you would like used as a basis for your project. I cannot do a portrait if I do not know what they look like. When submitting a request, please send the photo, size, and any special notes (shipping, words to be added, etc.) in an email to [email protected]
I do offer layaway. The down payment is the $25 deposit. Payment of $5 or more each within 30 days is required or production of the work will cease. If your project is not a portrait and you do not pay for the work, it will go up for sale after 30 days and your payments will not be refunded. I WILL NOT hold any piece for you unless it is a portrait without a payment. Please understand the majority of these projects take several hours and several days to complete. If you plan to place an order for a wedding, a birthday, or any other event, including holidays, do so with enough time to allow completion and shipping. Shipping can take 7-10 business days. These policies are in place to protect myself as an artist and you as a buyer. Please respect the art. If you are not satisfied with your results, please let me know and offer input. No one is a harsher critic than an artist on their own works. You will not hurt my feelings. I can start over, but it will still take time. I use a time sheet to log time spent on every project to keep the most accurate pricing (down to the minute) possible
