Payment is expected upon order. Your order will not be shipped until I receive payment. If I do not receive a payment within 3 days after your order is received I will attempt to contact you. If no payment is received within 10 days, I will cancel your order and re-list the item. Items paid for by personal check will be shipped upon check clearance.

SHIPPING POLICY - DOMESTIC USA
All packages are shipped first class US mail or Priority. Whenever possible, I try to recycle/reuse packaging supplies -- my little part to help the Earth.
I HIGHLY recommend you purchase shipping insurance; as I cannot be responsible for packages damaged or lost by the US Postal Service. If you want insurance, please contact me before paying for your purchase, so the listing can be adjusted to add insurance.

SHIPPING POLICY – INTERNATIONAL
International rates listed are for shipping by the cheapest airmail rates possible for the US Postal Service (First Class International).
Insurance is HIGHLY recommended for any shipment outside the USA, as I cannot be responsible for packages damaged or lost by the postal service or delayed by customs. The Buyer is also responsible for knowing what items can be legally purchased and imported into their country. The Buyer is responsible for any additional fees necessary to receive their shipment that may be imposed by customs or their country's postal service.
If you want insurance, please contact me before paying for your purchase, so the listing can be adjusted to add insurance. Thank you.

Custom orders can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on what it is you've requested and my queue of current orders.

I am constantly asked "what is this made of?", so here are some of the more non-traditional materials that I use.
BASE MATERIALS

* Polymer-- Kato Poly Clay, ProSculpt
* Liquid polymer-- Kato Liquid Clay, Fimo Decorating Gel
* Low/No Solvent Resins
* Precious Metal Clay-- Art Clay varieties
* Sculptable Expoy Resin

With care your polymer piece should last for a long, long time. Wipe with a soft cloth and do not store in direct sunlight.

Trees have been sacred for thousands of years in all cultures, however, its only in the last few hundred years that their importance has diminished, and their availability taken more and more for granted. Think on what they give to us and ask nothing in return. They give us shelter, food, fuel...and air. Our existence on Earth is interconnected with these magnificent beings. It is in that spirit that I began to paint faces of the beautiful trees in my area. I always start out with an idea in mind but inevitably the leaf always decides what it wants instead, lol.
