• Let me know If there are specific colors you would like  me to use (brown with white belly)
• Also enter an Eye Color (be specific, i.e. golden brown, gold, dark brown etc)
• Would you like a FULL BODY image or just the HEAD
• Enter any additional details in the notes box that you think are important
• Any other details can be discussed

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Most likely when you order I will be making the item from scratch.  Because of all the different breeds and colors it may not be in stock (although I do have around 300 pins in stock at all times).   Allow two to four weeks after I receive the order for delivery.  If you have a special event please let me know.

Please check ITEMS IN STOCK link on the home page to view some of the products that I have in stock and ready to ship.  They will change periodically.

CUSTOM ORDERS HAND PAINTED FROM YOUR PHOTOGRAPH
Choose one photo you like the way the animal is posed. That will be the one I will create a pattern from. You can send others for coloration and details. Any detail that does not show or if you want to eliminate certain things in the photo just let me know. Eye color is important for you to describe.

As long as I can see the face and chest areas for head shots and the whole body when I am doing the full body it should be fine. It is always nice to get close up shots of the face.

Taking pictures outside is best. Usually you need a friend to distract them for certain shots. Do not stand above them and shoot down at them. Get down on their level for the best shots.
