How to order?
You can email me or if you prefer via Messenger, if you have reached out to me through Facebook.
Please send quality close up photos of your chosen subject.
I will create a composite using the photos to give an idea on how things will look, then send these to you.
Making changes if need be?
If you are satisfied, I will accept the commission and let you know the time scale in which it will take.
I would allow 1-2 weeks, depending on my diary.
