Q. Do you
cater for gay and lesbian marriages?
 A.
Definitely, and don't forget anniversaries, and
Valentine's Day too!

Q. Do you
make cars or other vehicles?
 A. They are not
my favourite subject, I prefer people, but feel free
to ask, and I can make one if there is plenty of
notice.

Q.
Can you make my favourite celebrity?
 A.
Yes, and why not have one of you both together for a
laugh?

Q.
Can you make the figures any size?
 A.
To attempt a facial resemblance, the figure can be
no smaller than 2 inches tall. The largest I have
made is 8 inches tall, but you can have larger.
A very big sculpture would use much more material,
so would cost more, but I would tell you how much in
advance.

Q.
Are
the bigger sculptures very heavy?
 A. No,
because I use a foil and wire core which weighs less
than the clay, and gives strength and stability.

Q.
Can
you make any animal?

Q.
How
much is postage and packaging?
 A. It costs
from £3 recorded delivery, for a single figure, and
£4.00 for a wedding couple. For larger orders ask
for a quote, but I only charge the amount as asked
for by the post office, plus the cost of a gift box
if it comes in one, which cost from 55p to £1 each.
I do not make a profit on those either.

Q.
What if they are damaged in transit?
 A.
They are very well packed in a box within a box,
padded out with all kinds of bubble wrap etc.
However if anything breaks, just send it back for
either a replacement or a repair. The material is
very durable, and has not broken in the post yet.
The delicate parts which may chip if knocked or
dropped, are the extremities such as hands, hair
strands, flower petals. If you have an accident at
any time, even in years to come, please send it back
for a free repair. My customers and their models are
very important to me.

Q.
What if I haven't got a digital camera and only have
prints and I don't always have access to a computer?

A. I have to print off the photos people send
me anyway, so that is fine. I will give you my
address so you can post your photos. I will return
the photos back with the finished model. I will also give my phone number to those
who prefer not to use email. I can send a photo
of the finished model in the post rather than email,
for you to approve, or ask for alterations.

Q.
You say you draw portraits too, how
much do they cost and have you got any examples of
your work?
 A.
I only do a small number due to the amount of time
they take. Prices start from £60 for a single
portrait. This would be unframed but I can get them
professionally framed for you, but postage would be
expensive and risky. I can show you a photo of one
wedding couple I did, but the others were all sold
or given away without having been photographed
first. I would only accept money for a portrait you
were happy with, so the risk lies with me not the
customer. I use various lead pencils, or charcoal,
but the lead pencil drawings are the more precise of
the two. Feel free to ask me anything about this
service.
