Breaking down the process:
-
Together we figure out what the coolest thing would be for your box.
-
Half day or so design time
-
A day of prep and layout
-
The painting - usually about a week, more if you’re going super-arty
-
Clearcoats (3)
-
An extra week of just sitting there (believe it or not) so that the paint is properly cured for handling. You know that thing where you sit a vase on a windowsill that was just painted yesterday, then you go to move it in a couple of days and it has sorta-stuck in place or leaves an indented ring on the surface where the vase sat? That. We like to avoid that. Hence the cure time.
-
Shipping: 7-10 days.
Which adds up to about a month, if you know what you want right now.
You give us courage to claim our own value, sing our own songs. We need you, we need to see the real you –– not some sanitized version that placates conventionality and heaps you in with the masses.
Your complicated beauty strikes chords with those of us still fighting to untangle ourselves.
We get caught up in society's simplistic fences, defining our existence... but we are really full and colorful humans, and we are fiercely proud of your example.
Give me a call for a free 45 minute creative talk.
You, or your important person, don’t have to be tidied up into a boring box.
The best respect and memory is when we honor our people for who they really were… in the full color of their loves, joys and passions.
WE have the power to make truly meaningful moments of memory.
