Each of my botanical brass sculptures is a labor of love, taking hours to craft with meticulous attention to detail. For a bare metal flower, the turnaround time can be as short as a few days. However, if you wish to have your piece lacquered for a more durable finish, please allow an additional 5 days for the lacquer to dry properly after the piece is created. For larger orders, the creation process may extend to several weeks. Please reach out if you have specific time needs. I appreciate your understanding and patience as I bring these delicate creations to life.

Although these pieces are metal and have a certain level of durability, they can still be very delicate in certain areas and should be handled with care. For all pieces, it it best to handle them from the stem to avoid damaging the flower head. Bare metal will patina faster with fingerprints if handled directly. The metal can be polished with a gentle hand and polishing cloth. Lacquered metal is more durable due to adding a slight increase in thickness and a greater resistance to tarnish. Both should be dusted with a can of compressed air. Use in a dry place as water may leave spots on metal.

Absolutely! I love working together to bring your ideas to life. Whether it’s a beloved flower, an exact stem length, or you want to leave out the stem and add a clip or comb, I’m eager to hear your vision. My designs are crafted to be versatile and elegant, fitting seamlessly into any setting. If you have something in mind or want to explore the possibilities, contact me or view the gallery for ideas and lets create something truly special together!

Besides standard upkeep, no. While preserving flowers captures the essence of your cherished moments, it often entails significant additional expenses and time commitments beyond the initial investment in your blooms. In contrast, my designs offer a beautifully crafted, lasting alternative that requires little further maintenance. Each piece is designed to seamlessly integrate into your celebrations—be it weddings, showers, receptions, or even intimate brunches—right out of the box. They can adorn your shadow boxes or serve as timeless keepsakes. Moreover, consider passing them along to future generations to continue creating precious memories together.
