Question 1

RESTORATION SERVICES

Accepted Answer

RESTORATION ABILITY VARIES ON THE DAMAGE. I WOULD NEED TO SEE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGED ITEM IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH IF IT IS SOMETHING I AM ABLE TO TAKE ON.

IF I AM UNABLE TO TAKE ON YOUR ITEM DUE TO THE SEVERITY OR IT BEING OUT OF MY SKILLSET I WILL REFFER YOU TO SOMEONE I TRUST FOR A SECOND OPINION.

I WORK ON REPAINTING FADED SILK SCREEN PRINTS AND MINOR CANVAS AND PATTERN RESTORATIONS.

Question 2

RESTORATION RESTRICTIONS

Accepted Answer

THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT WORK ON

IF THE DAMAGE TO AN ITEM IS SEVERE, I WOULD NOT TAKE IT ON AS A RESTORATION.

I DO NOT DO LEATHER RESTORATIONS OF ANY KIND.

I AM UNABLE TO RESTORE THE LV MONOGRAM PATTERN IF FADED OR DAMAGED. THE MONOGRAM PATTERN ON LV CANVAS BAGS IS PRINTED ONTO THE CANVAS. THIS METHOD PRODUCES THE LOGO AND FLORETS WITH A MIXTURE OF FINE LINES IN DIFFERENT SHADES/TONES PREVENTING IT FROM BEING ONE SOLID COLOR. ATTEMPTING TO REPAINT IT TO LOOK ORIGINAL IS NOT POSSIBLE.

I DO NOT WORK ON THE LV MULTICOLOR LINE, IM SORRY!

ONCE I HAVE THE INFORMATION I NEED I WILL THEN BEGIN TO WORK ON DRAWING A DIGITAL MOCK-UP OF YOUR DESIGN. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I CREATE THE MOCK-UP AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE TO THE STYLE WHICH I WILL BE PAINTING.

ONCE YOUR MOCK-UP IS COMPLETE I WILL SEND IT TO YOU FOR APPROVAL. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FINE! WE CAN EDIT THE DESIGN UNTIL YOU ARE 100% HAPPY WITH THE ART WORK.

ONCE YOU HAVE APPROVED YOUR MOCK-UP I WILL PROVIDE YOU A PRICE QUOTE.
