CHRISTMAS ORDERS: Please order by November 21st to ensure *completion and shipment* by Christmas Eve (December 24th).

NOTE: This does not guarantee *delivery* by Christmas. While I ship custom paint-by-numbers kits through USPS Priority Mail (1-3 Day Delivery), actual shipping and transit times will depend on the shipping carrier and may include possible delays on the carrier's end during the busy holiday season.

Thank you for your patience and undertanding!

Handmade Paint by Number Kit

This is a special, personalized, and completely handmade twist on paint by number kits. Unlike standard paint by number kits, these are made by hand in my home art studio.

How It Works:
1) Place your order on Etsy (Choose your desired size and complexity)
2) Send me a message with a reference photo of your pet
3) Wait for your paint by number to ship in 2-3 weeks!

What's Included:
(1) Canvas (with your pet drawn in lines and numbers)
(1) Set of acrylic paints stored in labeled paint pods
(2) Paintbrushes
(1) Instruction Card

How It's Made:
Once you have placed your order and you've sent me a reference photo of your pet (cat, dog, horse, rabbit, reptile, bird, etc.) I will begin by designing the layout and color palette on my iPad.
Once I've designed the layout and hand-selected the perfect color palette, I transfer the design onto a canvas using waterproof markers and pens.
Then, I will hand-mix your paints based on the unique color palette I've curated for your painting kit.

Size and Complexity:
The size and complexity you choose are up to your preference and budget!
The 8x10 inch canvas with 12 colors is the most basic option, but it is also the most popular.
If your pet has a complex pattern (ex. wearing colorful collars/garments, tri-colored coats, reptiles with complex patterns, etc.) the 18-color complexity option may be best for you!

Pets with Solid Coats:
If your pet has a solid coat (ex. black cat, white dog, etc.) and you're wondering about how I may find 12 different colors to mix, don't worry! All pets have unique undertones, highlights, and shadows that can be mixed.

Production Time and Shipping:
Based on my waitlist, your paint-by-number kit will be made and ready to ship within 2-3 weeks from the date your order was placed.

Shipping is free in most sizes, but the larger canvas sizes automatically include a $34 oversized shipping/handling fee. (This will not be an additional charge. It is already included in the original pricing). This will cover the extra shipping expenses for the large item, and the time and materials I need to make a custom box to ship your order.

Your order will be shipped through USPS Priority Mail for US orders.

*Note About Processing Times:
Rather than the processing time being a reflection of how long any individual portrait takes me to make from start to finish, it actually reflects the length of my waitlist. With this, most custom portraits are usually started and finished within a 1-7 day period near the end of the allotted processing time depending on the size/nature of the commission and how quickly I can work through my scheduled orders.
