Terms of service.
Please read this description in its entirety. Once you have purchased your commission listing, send me an email with your commission request. Deposits must be paid within 24 hours after the amount is decided. If you do not reach out, I will move on to the next person.
Please keep in mind that commissions could take up to a month to be finished plus ship time. If you have a time restraint, let me know and we will work something out. I work in the order of who sends their deposit first. I will skip to the next person if I am waiting on things I need to special order for the previous person.
Things to include in your email:
— Budget (please let me know whether or not shipping-0 cost is part of your budget) Ex: “My budget is $200 plus shipping” or “My budget is $200 with shipping included in this cost”
— Size of the terrarium/frame/ceramic piece (take a screenshot from my Instagram if needed to show an example)
— Type of crystals if you them added to a terrarium (I keep amethyst, quartz (clear, smoky, & rose), obsidian, tourmaline, kyanite, and selenite on hand). If you want something else, I will need to make an order, which is totally fine! I can usually find smaller crystals to include in frames if desired.
— Mushrooms added? I typically use boletes and turkey tails but can also find morels if you like the look of those better. Frames will limit what I can do depending on the space.
— Any skulls or bones added? I am working on my bone collection but being in Portland I have found some incredible local vendors that ethically sources their bones and skulls. Keep in mind the sizing based on what you’re wanting and know your local laws!
— Flowers? You can send a specific color schemes you really like, specific flower or flora preferences, or a screen shot referencing previous pieces you really like!
— Colored moss? Main types include Reindeer moss, Spanish moss, sheet moss, lichen parmelia, and Oregon Beaked moss. I have a pretty decent selection with a variety of colors, even a few different greens. I am also working on naturally dyed moss, one of my favorites is the cherry juice stained moss which created a beautiful dark burgundy and light rose colored moss.
— Placement? You can either tell me where you want things or let me figure it out!
— Can I send you personal items to create a piece out of?
Absolutely! As long as it is already preserved (if it’s a bug animal). I will put something together for you and take this from the usual cost. Shipping to me will be at your expense.
Deposit **IMPORTANT**
I will not start on a piece or begin ordering what I need for it until I have received a deposit of 50% of the price I quote you on. The first payment will not include shipping, so plan for the second payment to be slightly higher. The second payment must be paid within two weeks of the piece being finished unless another arrangement has been discussed. Payments must be made in full, including shipping cost, before I will send it out or let you pick up. If you fail to make your second payment within the discussed time frame, your deposit becomes void. I will post the item for sale and someone else may buy it instead. If you message me after it sells, a new deposit must be made to create a new one. If this is a continuous thing, I will not accept future commuission orders from you.
How to pay:
I accept Venmo and Zelle. If you would like to use Paypal or Square, there will be a 5% up charge. If you are local, you can make your payments in cash if needed.
