To order-
Step 1: Choose how many individual magnets you would like to customize from the drop down menu.
Step 2: You will be asked to confirm that you have read all of the directions and information in this tab by typing "yes" in the designated (personalization) box; reading all the information in this tab is essential for making the customization process go smoothly.
Step 3: To send photos, after you purchase and checkout, open an Etsy conversation with me by finding the little icon that says "message seller" or "message Brittney" on the listing page.
Attach one clear, well-lit, forward facing, level with camera photo of each face that you would like transformed into a unique magnet. Photos that can be zoomed into- so that all facial features are clear and distinguishable are best. Please avoid heavy filters because they can affect the coloring process (natural lighting is best). I base the sketch for a face directly from one photo that you provide (same angles, hairstyle, expression, positioning, etc) - so make sure you choose a photo that shows exactly how you'd like each person/pet to be represented. Please communicate the eye color of each person via this conversation.
Step 4: I will send you a line illustration proof of your magnet via our original Etsy conversation approximately 1 week after receiving your photos (a specific date will be assigned to you via a confirmation email that I will send). It is very important that you check your Etsy account to ensure that you receive this proof (not everyone opts in for email notifications or they may go to spam). Delays in approving the proof will result in a delay in the finalization and delivery of your magnets. If I don't receive communication from you up to 1 week after the proof/s are sent- you will forgo the proofing process and the magnet/s will be sent as is.
During the proofing process, you may let me know if you see anything that you would like adjusted. Suggestions for changes should be limited to the photo from which the sketch was based. Once you are happy with the line illustration/s, I will then digitally color and send the final digital file/s through Etsy messages. I am only able to make coloring changes 24 hours after this file is sent to you. After 24 hours, I will send the file/s to be professionally printed on magnet/s (no changes can be made after this point).
These custom magnets are an artistic, stylized interpretation of your person or pet's face; they will not be an exact photorealistic image. You'll notice in my examples that the stylizations give all of my magnets the same "look". Examples of these stylizations include the use of simple lines and the absence of individual teeth lines in the smiles. Each magnet is roughly 2 inches from the top of the head to the chin. Pet magnets will be made to scale with human magnets if ordered together.
*IMPORTANT* NEW FACE MAGNET DESIGN
The new face magnet designs are digitally colored and professionally printed on thin, flexible, matte magnets (see video for a better look). You will also receive a high resolution digital file of each colored illustration for personal use (can be used to print on ornaments, mugs, t-shirts, etc using photo gift websites like Shutterfly and Snapfish).
Please note that while the art style is the same, these new magnets do NOT have the same coloring, size, or material as the magnets made from 2017-2022.
Unfortunately, I am unable to create new face magnets that go with previously purchased sets. However, I do still have most line illustrations on file and can create previously purchased magnets in the newer style at a discounted rate ($12 per magnet) if purchased with a new magnet order. I recommend doing this if you want a cohesive set. Just send me a message before ordering and I'll create a custom order listing for you.
