Payment 2 of 2

One (1) commissioned art piece

Includes: 
One (1) gold antique bubble/convex frame
Two (2) White Ghost Cicadas
Matte black background with previously discussed surname in white, in the center with specimens and potential florals surrounding.

All specimen recommendations can be changed prior to signed agreement; if you’d prefer a different color scheme, or different specimens, please let me know so I may revise the proposal to reflect changes. Etsy is an excellent source to review and research specimens should you so choose. I am more than happy to provide additional specimen recommendations. Once agreement is signed, specimens cannot be changed unless signee is willing to pay the additional charge and wait the additional time. If providing your own specimen, once the piece is paid in full or 60% of the total has been received, a shipping address will be provided for you to ship your specimen at your own cost; return shipping is included in commission price. You will be notified the moment I receive your provided specimen and work will begin at that time.

Should you prefer a specific backing color/texture, please let me know so I may source it and provide further recommendations. In my experience, certain fabrics such as silk and lace, provide for a more labor intensive creation, and also tend to end to issues such as puckering and pulling over time.

Should you have any specific floral requests, please let me know. I hand dry and preserve all florals used therefore allowing for a wider selection, under the condition I am able to source the preferred florals.

Should you care to include any additional items or embellishments, such as pearls, bows, gemstones (precious or manmade), bones, photos, or feathers, please let me know; aside from precious gemstones, all can be added at no additional cost.

Execution times are estimated; all is dependent on shipping, pinning, processing, collection of needed items, and curation time. Photo updates of progress will be sent biweekly until completion. At any time during creation the ability to change artistic direction can be done for an additional fee.

60% of total cost is due at agreement, prior to creation and is non-refundable; the remaining 40% to be paid at completion. Payment plans are available for deposit; If selecting a payment plan, creation will not begin until 60% of the total cost has been paid.
