Technical details:
The images shown are samples of custom special occasion keepsakes.
The original illustration's dimensions are 8" x 10" and the frame dimensions are 12" x 16". A white window mat is included.
The frame may vary from the sample pictures shown. You can view the frames currently available here.
The final product is a print of the artwork (digital, freehand drawing), on archival fine art paper, with high-quality inks. The top of your dress is drawn and may include fabric, and the bottom of the dress is made out of the swatch you send me.
The props and "decorations" used in some of the photos are not included in your purchase.
The final artwork is hand-signed by me, the artist.
Please note that all illustrations are created in my signature fashion illustration style: the fashion illustration' eyes are closed, and she has a light, "floating" feel. If the soles of the shoes show in the final keepsake, the shoes will likely be drawn flat. The coloring style will also be my signature coloring style as you can see in examples on the keepsakes page.
Although the illustration of the woman and the top part of the dress will be drawn to match photos you share, the bottom part of the dress will likely be enlarged, to give the final keepsake more volume and depth. For example, if your actual dress is a mermaid style dress, the bottom of it will likely be expanded more in the final keepsake, hand-made with pieces of your dress.
For white dresses, a colored background is recommended but not required. If you would like a colored background, I will ask you to send me a color swatch to match when you send me your fabric.
