Personalized portrait of your pet- small ceramic sculpture! My cute ceramic dogs and cats are my teensy-weensy discovery. The figurine is of a compact size and simple egg-like shape, inside, there are ceramic peas that give off magical rattling sounds when you shake the toy. The sound is exclusive for every one of them! Simple shape and compact size play the leading role in my idea. The Figurine won’t take much space in your bag, and you can always bring it with you when you’re away on a trip or just miss your goodest boi or girl. It’s also a wonderful way to brighten up your desk. You put this little fella in your workspace, and ding! - your inspiration arrives. Most importantly, the figurine is a homey keepsake to remember your dear pet by when they’re gone. Besides, the tiny sculpture makes a great gift for your loved ones. You can follow my creativity and the manufacturing process on my Instagram @ryabavosh - I show my sculpting, painting, my working weekdays and my favorite column #petoftheday. It will be exciting! HOW DOES IT WORK? 1. I need at least one photo of the pet BEFORE STARTING MY WORK. It will help me to accurately convey all details of the portrait. IF YOU ARE A PET OWNER Please pay attention! I am a stranger. I see each pet for the first time and cancatch the eye to completely different characteristics than you. Let's get acquainted - please tell me in detail about you pet. What is her favorite position of the ears? How often does he smile, or is it mostly serious? Playful or lazy? Does it have a tail or is it trimmed? Maybe there is a special marking that needs to be added? What is the favorite haircut? How would you like to see the facial expression in the finished figurine? If you have a favorite photo where everything is exactly as you like - add it and say that this is exactly what you need! Make sure once again that you have provided all the necessary details before I starting to work. If you do not add a description, I will analyze the photos and choose details for my vision. IF YOU AREN'T A PET OWNER Please no worries! If there is at least one good photo of the face this may be enough. I have a lot of experience and will be able to make a fairly accurate portrait similar to this photo. However, unfortunately, I can not know the information that is not in the photo. And if you can't describe additional details, such as the lack of a tail, then unfortunately I won't know it. If you have additional wishes, such as a happy facial expression, feel free to write me about it! HOW TO ADD A PHOTOS Please attach the photos in your "message to the seller" on Etsy (you can add 3 photos at a time, but you are not limited in the number of messages) or send them to my email ryabavosh [!at] gmail.com. 2. ONCE THE PRODUCT WILL BE READY TO SHIP I will send detailed photos to confirm or edit the figurine before sending the parcel to you. IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS about inaccuracies in the product, I will try to make the necessary adjustments. Unfortunately, in this case, it will usually take extra time, and I will change the date of sending the product to eliminate inaccuracies. I CAN CHANGE inaccuracies in the color shade, add some markings or change some details that look inaccurate. I CANNOT CHANGE details I didn't know before. For example, if the pet has a feature that has not been reported and is not clearly visible in the photo. Or you did not say that you would like to see a smile in the figurine, and I made a portrait without a smile at its discretion. For such significant changes, I need to remake the figurine first because it's just pottery, and it's a whole new job that involves the same time and materials to make. However, if the error occurred due to my inattention to your description (and this may also be because I am just a person), I will remake the figure first in the shortest possible time. IF YOU WANT TO CANCEL. Unfortunately, sometimes repainting or eliminating inaccuracies does not give the desired effect, and you are still not happy with the result. Unfortunately, Etsy policy does not allow you to return a customized product. However, I always try to meet the buyer and accept the cancellation before sending the product. However, in this case, I have to take into account the material used for this attempt and make a partial refund to your account minus 20% of the cost of the product. IF THERE IS NO ANSWER. I always expect a buyer's reply before shipping. I wait either until the last day allowed to be sent, or at least a week if I extend this date. However, sometimes it happens that I do not receive any answer. In this case, I have to send the product, fulfilling my obligations as a seller. I can make MULTIPLE DUPLICATES of the same pet if you want to have a figurine for each family member. Please note about this in your message! PROCESSING TIME - please see before placing the order. I have a several listings for ordering custom cats and dogs food containers, figurines and portrait mugs. There you can see more photos, as well as reviews on my products! click here - https://www.etsy.com/shop/RyabaVoshCeramics?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=800945721§ion_id=38280939 At the moment, it’s one of my most favorite areas of work. It’s so rewarding. Yet, it’s also a new challenge every time, as the shape I work with limits the design and makes the process of sculpting the portrait more complex. I understand this teeny figurine is an item with a unique sense beneath it. It’s a way to emphasise the importance of a pet in one’s life, a way to soothe the pain of losing their good boy or girl, a tender and delicate way to say ‘I’m very sorry’ when your loved ones are suffering a loss. Every time, there are new emotions, and the experience I go through is incredible. Every time someone orders a new figurine, a unique story is born, and I live in this story together with my customer. And I’m so loving the feedbacks with photos!
