Beautiful!
Beautiful!
This is nice I wish I’d ordered the larger print.
It’s gorgeous!
Ordered July 30. It's Oct 9 and I still don't have puzzles. I respected the two month turnaround but two months came and went. I was told they'd ship the week of Sept 29. They did not. Shipping label created Oct 2 and tracking says they were never placed with carrier. Never plan to buy from this company again.

This piece is so elegant and vibrant. I plan to put it in a room where it can be seen all the time! I might buy a second one and mount them next to each other to bring a really powerful vibe! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and the vibrancy of the image!
I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and the vibrancy of the image! It arrived in a timely manner, with good tracking information throughout the process. I am so glad I investigated this artist/entrepreneur, so I have this cool resource to use in the future.
it's a really nice piece, it too bad mine arrive bent up and then there is a black or brown dot on the finished print, for 29 bucks, i expected better quality and handling. For future reference, don't send fragile items via usps, please select FedEx or Ups they pay attention to fragility signage.
