Operation Policies 

  • Sew Colorful Studio is open by appointment only. I need at least a 1 hour notice prior to arrival. This saves us both time by assuring I am available. This is a 1-person operation and there are times I must step out or once I start mixing for a project, I cannot be interrupted. 

  • Flowers must be dry for me to work with! If you are local and able to bring the flowers to me, I will able to dry them for you, or you are welcome to dry them yourself. If you will be shipping flowers to me, you will have to completely dry the flowers yourself prior to shipping so they will not mold in transit. *  For whole flower preservation, flowers must be shipped fresh overnight! ​

  • When dropping flowers off to me: I MUST be given and order at that time. I must know what I am making so I can process the flowers accordingly.  This prevents me from spending time on drying and having to store flowers that end up being abandoned.​​

  • I only take in flower that I plan on using. You are welcome to bring what you have when we meet, but please be prepared to take flowers back home with you. I am getting low on storage space and processing flowers can be time consuming.

  • Upon receiving flowers or cremains, I will inform you of the approximate time it will take me to complete your order. Time depends on the size of the order, if I need to special order materials, and time of year. I have had a large increase in orders, so wait times will be longer to receive completed items.​​

  • Deposits. For larger memorial items I will need a half down deposit. For silver jewelry, I will need the a deposit in the amount of cost of the jewelry request, prior to placing an order for it. Deposits are non-refundable. ​

  • Payment is due upon completion. In the case of orders that have a high cost amount, the cost of the item will need to placed as down payment. For orders over $200, I will be requiring a downpayment of half of the amount.​

  • You have 14 days from the time I notify you of completed items to pay and pick up your items. After 21 days, you will be charged a $25 per week storage fee on the order.  If you fail to pay for your items in a timely manner, I will refuse future service, or you will be required to pay past items plus prepay for all future items. After 90 Days of non-payment your items will be considered abandoned and discarded as seen fit.

  • I DO NOT offer exchanges or returns; you get what you order. I do my best to custom create and explain my process so you know what you will be receiving before it is made. 

Things to remember:

1. Most flowers darken as they dry. For example: Red Roses will turn dark red/burgundy and may appear black.

2. Some flowers do not dry well and will turn brown. This is nature and there is nothing I can do about it.

3. The color of the dried flower or cremains will determine the color of the item that is being made.

4. Epoxy may discolor overtime and there could be some yellowing. Keep your Items out of direct sunlight if possible or avoid long exposure. This especially applies to larger items like Blocks and trays. 

5. All items are custom made and can not be exchanged or refunded.

6. I am Human, I am not a machine, all my items are handmade, and I am not perfect. I am also a parent, therefore there may be times I am unable to get into my studio. This is a one person operation and I may ask for patients from time to time.

7. I am not Walmart. This is my art that I am willing but not obligated to share with you. If you decide to be rude or hateful I can and will refuse service.
