Species consultation and overall design aesthetic preferences and husbandry requirements.
Comprehensive species research that encompasses all elements of superior husbandry requirements, enrichment and hardscape design.
Pictures of conceptualized designs will be texted or emailed to you for approval, desired changes and add ons before moving on to the fabrication phase of the design process. Once fabrication has begun on an approved design, changes are very difficult and can not be made, unless absolutely necessary. If I have to change the design or an element due to a structural or technical issue, prior approvals will be requested from the client before the changes are made.
The actual sculptural process of design and fabrication can take 2-3 weeks plus to be completed depending on the design size, custom features, species, complexities and scope of work required. All work is handmade and thus requires a great deal of hands on, detailed work.
For your peace of mind, I always supply my clients with progress photos so that you can see the progression of the design.
If applicable, progression photos of the complete design build will be supplied to the client prior to shipping or dellivery.
Everything I do is designed and hand sculpted. I personally do not use 3D printers because I prefer to hand make my designs. The costs of supplies and the exorbitant time it takes for me to create your unique design for your beloved pet is considerable and I charge for my time and experience. The quality of my designs are premium, and not inexpensive, although I do accept payments if that makes purchasing easier for people. I also carry a waitlist, and I will not rush a build, so everyone receives the same level of attention to detail and hands on care to the design process. I will keep you informed along the way. Thank you so much for your understanding of the time it takes to build a custom, one of a kind piece for your pet.
I research a variety of shipping options to provide the best rates for your particular situation. This can include Air Freight to the nearest airport if one is near and convenient for you. This method is the most economical for large and heavy objects - you would be surprised at the savings. *Insurance is always recommended for damages and shipping loss- but optional to you.
