You choose the subject for yourself or for the recipient of your gift!
timing
It takes about 2 weeks from when I receive the completed form. This is an indicative period and also depends on your response times. If you have special needs, write me before purchasing, to check my availability.
Christmas
Are you thinking of giving an ex libris for Christmas? Then I advise you to think about it very soon! From October to the end of November I take commissions for the Christmas period, I usually don’t take new commissions in December to avoid shipping in the worst time of the year!
1.
buy your own ex libris
Are you undecided because you don’t know how the drawing will come? If we do not find the right design for you, you can ask for a partial refund (I will keep € 10 for making the proofs), the refund is not applicable after a design is chosen and I have already engraved the stamp.
2.
creation of the subject
You will receive a confirmation email with a link to the form that you will need to fill out so that I have all the information to start working. You will have to describe me the subject you would like: an animal, a passion, how you love to pass the time, a place of your heart, your favorite film or it could be one or two drop caps. If you already have a reference image you can send it to me by email
3.
sending drafts
within 7 working days I will usually send at least 2 or 3 pen tests by e-mail, you will tell me which one you prefer, if you want some changes or if you want other tests, until you find the subject that best represents you and satisfies you.
4.
approval
you will have to give me confirmation of the final draft by email.
5.
I engrave the matrix
my favorite part: I arm myself with gouges and start to engrave the design
6.
packaging and assembling
print the stamp on the tag where you will also find the instructions for use and cleaning. It will arrive in its canvas bag and firmly attached to the support with wooden handle. Once shipped I will send you the code to track the package.
uniqueness
the subjects
of the ex libris
already created
cannot be replicated
They are an example of which subjects you can ask and how they can be made with the linocut technique.
I really want each of you to have a unique and unrepeatable ex libris!
