5 out of 5 starsThe recipients of this sweet gift were very pleased, enjoying not only the honey and the beeswax candle, but the presentation in the cloth bag. Perfect.
About SaganAndLoki
-
I want people to feel like they're opening a present when they get a package from me.
-
My historical research includes over 400 pages of handwritten notes on English-to-Egyptian translation alone.
-
I use sustainable Egyptian papyrus whether I recreate an existing work of ancient art or translate something new.
-
I constantly do color and chemistry tests. It took paint from 6 companies to get a full palette of ancient colors.
Sagan and Loki's Art for Geeks is a 3 Person, 1 ghost cat operation
As with all of our online sales, funds raised from sales on Etsy that aren't reinvested in the shop go toward books and supplies to homeschool our at-risk child, Sagan, and to martial arts lessons to keep his heart and lungs healthy. Sagan chooses the fabrics for our masks, and it was his idea to create the cooling mask from bamboo sports fabric.
😷 MASKS: Masks and social-isolating aren't new for us, we usually have to go into hiding during flu season at some point, so in addition to our usual Geek Fusion art, we are passing on our mask experience.
Every 3 masks we sell pays for a one-on-one Taekwondo lesson. Sagan wears one of his antimicrobial cooling masks during his workout.
We test EVERYTHING to make sure you are getting a quality product. We heat-treat the fabric, top-stitch over interlocked edges with Gutermann thread, triple-bind the elastic, and experiment with different ideas that solve problems: cooling bamboo fabric, extra-long earloops, beard-friendly liners, and side-load filter pockets for double-layered masks, for starters.
🐝 HONEY: During Hoochee Honey Season, you can find The Papa's limited edition Single Hive honey. Located next to the Chattahoochee River in the Northeast Georgia Mountains, Hoochee Honey is extracted one hive at a time, and never blended with other honey, for a completely unique taste experience in every harvest. Produced raw and unfiltered, leaving all the goodness nature intended.
🍀 CLOVER: Our honeybees gave us an extraordinary number of 4-leaf clovers this year, which can be found in necklaces and ornaments after a long pressing process.
🐈 HISTORY: As always, Art for Geeks fuses pop culture with history, particularly Ancient Egyptian, in prints and wearables.
Our jewelry arrives in a gift bag so you feel like you're getting a present.
We've rebranded the shop "Sagan and Loki's Art for Geeks" because Sagan and my cat, who returned from beyond the Rainbow Bridge as a puppet, had a YouTube show together for a few years, and now they are marketing partners.

Shop policies
I do my best to make sure the photos match what you're going to receive, BUT:
Mobile screens may increase contrast and saturation. If you're looking to get something expensive you may want to check on a standard laptop or workplace computer screen.
Polymer clay items in a model or series may differ slightly from the item pictured and may include some discoloration because they are all handmade.

Payment
** Etsy Direct Checkout (Fastest Shipping, generally less than 24 hours) **
Etsy Gift Cards: https://www.etsy.com/giftcards
Paypal, including echecks. Echecks may take a week or more to clear but I will ship as soon as they do.
Paypal orders may ship through Etsy's label printer. (Paypal's shipping area goes down randomly and I like to ship ASAP.)
I generally ship the next day. Most of my listings say they will ship in 1-3 business days but that is a precautionary measure for Paypal glitches, family medical emergencies, internet failure, and alien invasion.
CANCELLATION: You can cancel an order before receiving shipping notification. I start printing and packaging between 4 and 9 AM EST.
Shipping
All jewelry shipments come with hard candies when possible. Besides just being nice, it forces your package to be handled manually instead of by a machine.
SHIPPING DISCOUNTS: I offer a free shipping guarantee for orders over $35 to the US. Etsy has trouble reading APO/FPO/DPO address as US based. If you are charged shipping to a military address, I will refund it, because that's ridiculous.
ETSY'S OLD HELP FILE USED TO SAY THIS: "Even if you offer a free shipping guarantee, some orders with a US shipping address may not qualify for free shipping because of other account settings. Buyers must also: Set their region on Etsy to the US and; Set their currency preference on Etsy to USD; Read the terms of the free shipping guarantee."
(I don't know if this will solve that or not.)
DELIVERY CONFIRMATION (now USPS tracking) : I use tracking whenever available.
I will refund or replace items lost in transit before receiving a Delivery Confirmation scan, but I will consider an item delivered if the Post Office provides a valid Delivery Confirmation scan at the final destination.
HOLIDAY SHIPPING OVERSEAS: Please allow an extra week or two between Halloween and New Year's Day for overseas orders. I ship ASAP but in the past few years there have been occasional backups at the post office and customs.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS: Buyer is responsible for all customs fees and disputes. I list items whose main material is polymer clay as "costume jewelry", but your customs officials may disagree. Every item I sell is potentially dutiable.
DROP SHIPPING: Some items may be drop-shipped from our production partners (professionally-framed prints, for example.) Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
Additional policies and FAQs
CUSTOM GIFT MESSAGES: I may edit gift cards for spelling. I reserve the right to refuse to write anything threatening or that I personally find offensive. Saying it's a joke will not change my mind. If you have to ask if something will be offensive, you already know it is.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
If you want something shipped outside the US, I will need to research first, given the current world situation. (I am happy to do so, just haven't needed to since reopening the shop in 2020.) It appears other sellers are having issues with getting items to other countries in less than 2 or 3 months as of July, 2020.
