Create the perfect Christmas or housewarming gift with one of my custom house sketches, vibrantly printed onto a flat ceramic tree ornament.
DESIGN PROCESS
Your illustration is entirely created by hand, with the line work done first with black ink, before the texture and life are added with watercolour. The style is quick, sketchy and loose, all adding to the lively detail of the artwork.
I will create your custom sketch from your photos, and am happy to add in extra details (a beloved cat, perhaps, or a riot of blooms on a favourite rose) on request.
Please send your photo(s) as soon as possible after purchasing the listing so we can get started, along with any other requests or preferences for your artwork. If you are also able to provide an address to be identified on google maps, that's often helpful. I will send a scan of your sketch for your approval, and a proof of the ornament design before printing and am happy to rework and adjust if required to make sure they're perfect.
ORNAMENT DETAILS
I scan the sketch at a high resolution before having them printed onto flat (not spherical - please note!) ceramic ornaments, which come complete with a festive coloured ribbon to hang them from.
The ornaments are strong white ceramic, measuring 7.5cm across. The artwork is printed with 3D digital technology and so is very robust. The ornaments have a glossy, varnished finish. They are plain on the back.
SKETCH DETAILS
If you would also like to receive your sketch, please make sure you select a 'yes' option from the dropdown list when ordering.
This is a hand-drawn sketch, with watercolour detail. The artworks tend to be square and roughly 14x14 cm (5.5 inches), on 300gsm heavyweight watercolour paper, although that obviously depends a bit on the dimensions of your building!
Your signed original sketch can either be unframed and packaged in a cellophane sleeve, or framed beautifully to complement the artwork. I use black or white wooden frames with off-white mounts, custom made for these sketches. The glazing is acrylic, just as clear as glass but lighter and safer to hang (and post!) Framed artworks measure approximately 25cm square.
TIMINGS
Please check the estimated delivery date for current turnaround time - it varies depending on how busy I am! If you need your order earlier, or for a particular date, do get in touch and I'll see what I can do.
POSTAGE AND DELIVERY
Your ornament will come beautifully wrapped and then safely packed to survive the post, sent by Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on the size of the package. First class mail in the UK takes 1-2 working days, and international standard to the US takes 5-12 working days. All orders over £20 are sent by recorded mail. Contact me for alternative or expedited shipping options.
SHIPPING TO THE EU FROM JAN 2021: When a package is delivered internationally, it may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and/or fees imposed (e.g. handling fees) by the destination country. These charges are typically due once the package arrives in the destination country. I'm afraid I can’t predict which of these fees, if any, will be applicable to your order. Please check locally. I'm happy to confirm the packaging size and shipping method before ordering, if required.
