How to Commission a Piece
1) Rummage through your drawers, closets and boxes of stuff, and
gather up anything and everything you’d like to incorporate
in your piece. If you can’t drum up enough things, ask your
friends and relatives to contribute. The more the merrier!
2) Pick up the phone and let’s discuss what you’d like
me to create. For folks in the Seattle area, we can set up a
face-to-face. To personalize your piece (either for yourself or
someone else) we’ll need a lengthy chat or e-mail
conversation to learn about the personality, hobbies and
preferences of the subject.
3) Make an inventory list of your items and include a copy of it
when you send me your box of treasures. (Be sure to insure it!) As
soon as your package arrives, I’ll determine if you’ve
sent enough to cover the base you’ve chosen. If you’d
like me to supplement your piece, additional charges will
apply.
4) I’ll send a proposal and contract for your signature and
deposit. I require a 50% payment up front with the balance due upon
completion. Shipping, packaging and insurance costs will be
included in your final invoice.
5) Our turnaround times vary for each completed piece. If your work
is for a special occasion, let us know right away so we can
schedule accordingly (rush charges may apply).
