**This listing changed since I first posted it! **
1) I switched to a higher-quality wood supplier
2) I increased the processing time, giving myself more time to spend on painting your ornament
3) I had a price increase for the ornaments.
Some pictures under the reviews show ornaments made before this year's change, so with the new higher processing time and price increase expect your ornament to be painted with more detail, precision, and generally higher quality. Regardless, I encourage you to look through all the reviews to see everyone's experience!
**If you would like your package tracked/ sent with 1–2-day shipping, please select the upgrade at checkout*. Otherwise, the free shipping is untracked and sent by Canada post.
HOW TO ORDER
After placing your order use Esty messaging to send me a picture of your pet to reference. There is a 'contact seller button' near this listing or my profile and that's where you send the photos. I'll be focusing on its upper head region so try to make sure you have a more-less clear, eye-level photo of your pet.
I'll reach out to you on Etsy messaging first within the first couple of hours of placing the order if I don't receive a photo so don't worry if you are having any trouble sending it.
**Important note**
The 1/2/3 pet variation option is for the number of pets on ONE ornament. If you'd want multiple ornaments with one pet each, just select a higher quantity of ornaments after you put the item in your basket.
Tracking is not included in the standard free shipping (sent with Canada post). If you'd like a faster and tracked delivery, upgrades are available at checkout. (Will be shipped using DHL, Purolator, or UPS depending on where you live).
(Artist note)
When making your ornament I strive to not only create an accurate depiction of your pet but most importantly to capture the personality and the very sparkle that makes them unique. Having cats myself, I realize that it's the small details in the paintings that really bring them to life and I spend a lot of time to make sure your paintings turn out lively.
(Product details)
A difference between these ornaments and most other ornament portraits is that these are bigger, ranging from 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) to 13cm (5 inches) in diameter and 1+ cm in thickness (1/3+ inch). It takes anywhere from 4-6+ hours of painting until they are ready to be sealed, with a coat of a matte sealer. The painting itself will be protected from scratches and damage with a layer of sealer (also enhancing the colours).
All of the ornaments in the pictures were made and sent out to people who bought this listing. Please let me know if you would not like me to use your ornament as an example.
Thank you so much to those who would choose to order a custom ornament. You being happy with your painting is my goal so if there's anything I could do, any step of the way, to improve your ornament I will be happy to do it. Making these and fulfilling your orders is the best holiday gift I could ever ask for so thank you!
