BEAUTIFUL BLUES - Custom Name Commission Cardinals

In the realm of comforting superstitions, cardinals flutter in like tiny, crimson-clad messengers from the great beyond. The legend is, when a cardinal appears, a departed loved one has come to visit. Maybe just to say hello, or perhaps to bring a message. A beloved emblem of the holiday season, cardinals bring a sense of hope and remembrance at the most special time of the year. Each one of these miniature works of art are one-of-a-kind. No two are alike. They come with a ribbon attached for hanging on your tree, but it can just as easily hang on your wall all year round. 

Have you ever wanted to commission a small work of art in tribute to someone you love or have lost? This is your chance!

Order today and you can pre-order a custom cardinal; you pick the name and the color. The rest is up to me!

How does this pre-ordering process work?

• You select a cardinal based on color.
• At checkout you'll see an empty box to add your name(s) - please include the name(s) as you want it printed on the side of the canvas. To ensure you get your order on time, do not leave the note blank. 
• By November 30 or sooner, I will mail your cardinal(s) to your address - domestic orders should arrive by the first week of December with wiggle room to spare!
• If you leave the note blank, it will take much longer to fulfill your order. Please, do not leave the note blank. 

Can I order more than one cardinal?
You can order up to five cardinals from this pre-sale. 

Can I see the specific cardinal before you add the name?
No, the surprise is part of the fun!

I live nearby - can I pick up my order or have it dropped off at my home?
Sorry friend. No local pickup or delivery this time! Your cardinal will be nicely packaged and shipped (and this will allow me to get it to you faster!)

I like being surprised by the name and color, will you sell the cardinals the old way again?
Yes. I love painting cardinals, and this custom sale will likely be a one-time event. Later in November 2024, I plan to sell more cardinals in various colorways, but the names will not be custom. 

Okay, I can't see the exact art until it arrives - but can you give me specifics on how the artwork is made?

- Every cardinal is 4"x 6"x.75" on an artist-grade cotton canvas using archival paint and varnish. These cardinals are made to last for generations!

- Every cardinal in the Blue collection offers figures in shades of royal blue, deep turquoise and azure. You will find each cardinal is different and features a variety of colors and textures; paint, collaged papers, and some even sparkle!

- Every cardinal comes with a black and white stripe ribbon. Don't want the ribbon and just see it hanging flat on the wall? No problem. Give it a few firm twists and the ribbon will unscrew. The canvas will easily hang on any standard nail. 

Because every cardinal is different, your ornament will be a surprise. Hang them on your wall or your tree - the cardinals choose their homes better than I ever could. 

Merry Christmas!
