Rumi poem, mat opening 8"x30"
I always consider it an honor and a privilege to be included in your special project. I know that you have put thought and care into your gift and you can trust me to put great thought and care into my work.
Because this may be your first experience commissioning calligraphy, I thought it would help to explain a little how all this works. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you again for choosing me to be a part of your future memories!
By purchasing this listing, you are agreeing to the following terms. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
- Services | I will personally provide all the agreed-upon services. I do not outsource to other artists without informing you first.
- Artistic Style | Upon contracting my services, you should have spent time reviewing my work to know that you like and trust my artistic style and abilities. You can be assured that I will create your project to the same quality as the samples you see on my website. Work that is digitized for printing will include one revision if needed so that you have the opportunity to review and request changes.
- Handwritten Work | Please keep in mind that, unlike computer-generated text, the beauty of handwritten calligraphy is the natural variation in letter form and layout. My hand will not make each letter exactly the same every single time. These variations result in every piece of writing being a unique work of art.
- Licensing | As the artist, I remain the sole owner of all artistic rights. I do not grant legal right to reproduce, copy, alter, or manufacture my work without a specific and separate licensing agreement.
- Photography | You are more than welcome (and encouraged!) to share images of my work. Please ensure that you clearly credit me on any and all posts (i.e. “Calligraphy by Kestrel Montes”). If sharing on Instagram, please tag @inkmethis. I highly appreciate it when you send me any professional photography taken of my work.
- Payment Schedule | Orders of $500 or less must be paid in full in advance to secure the calendar time. Orders over $500 require a non-refundable deposit with balance due before shipping. The final product will not be shipped until payment in full is received regardless of agreed-upon project completion date.
- Quantity Changes | If the quantity of guests/product decreases after payment of the 50% non-refundable deposit, the agreed-upon rate is not adjusted.
- Rush Orders | If the project is needed in under two weeks from the order date, a rush fee of 100% will apply.
- Text Submission | The provided text will be written exactly as submitted. If I notice any concerns after receiving the text, I will contact you. Please ensure that you have thoroughly reviewed and edited all text before submission. For text of a single project nature such as wedding vows or poems, no changes may be made after work has begun. Please note that if your text is not submitted by the requested date, it is likely to delay your order completion date.
- Corrections | Please review the final order upon receipt to be sure there are no corrections needed. If any corrections are needed, please email a complete list within 72 hours of delivery. If the error was on my end, I will of course promptly correct at no charge.
- Shipping | The final project will be shipped to the address listed on this purchase. We try to make the packaging look as nice as possible but our priority is the safe arrival of the artwork. So, please excuse any less-than-beautiful cardboard, for example.
