Q.
Why would I use expensive stationery in this
era of faxes and emails, especially since much of it can’t go
through a printer?
A. There are many reasons:
the individual and intimate quality of that kind of communication; the
physicality of the beautiful paper and pen (we most definitely suggest
writing with a fountain pen); the excitement of receiving a
“real” letter and the importance you place on the
person receiving it that it conveys; the desire to create something
permanent.
Q.
Can the stationery be used in laser or
ink-jet printers?
A. That depends on which
stationery you buy. Most social stationery is too heavy to go through a
printer, but business stationery may be able to. We note in the details
of each paper that we offer which may be used in a printer and which
may not.
Q.
Is there any danger that the paper in the
lamps will come in contact with the light source, thus creating a fire
hazard?
A. Unless the lamp is
mishandled, there should be no danger whatsoever of this occurring. The
lamps are carefully designed to provide a barrier between light source
and paper.
Q.
Can the lamps be dimmed for atmospheric
effect?
A. Yes, the lamps are equipped
with a two-phase switch.
Q. What
maintenance is involved with the paper sculpture, lamps, and wall-hung
paper stones?
A. Periodic dusting,
preferably using light suction, should keep these in good condition.
Q. Is the
jewelry very fragile? How is it maintained?
A. It is much less fragile
than one might think. Keep it safely away from your other (sharp edged)
jewelry in a dry, clean area, preferably wrapped in tissue paper or
soft cloth. Do not leave it for any length of time where the sun may
strike it (i.e. on a dresser top) as that will cause colors to fade
fairly quickly. Clean it very gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid
water at all costs.
Q. Can I paint
the paper masks?
A. Yes. They can be primed
with acrylic gesso and painted with acrylic paints. They are also
lovely just left white.
Q. Is everything
you offer a standard item that can be reordered?
A. Much of it is. However,
since most of our jewelry are one-of-a-kind pieces, we cannot guarantee
that another one that is exactly the same will be available. We do
know, however, that there are very similar pieces available to the ones
we are offering, and an exact replica could possibly be custom ordered.
Whether that particular jewelry artist would agree would be up to him
or her, but we would be happy to inquire for you. We also occasionally
make one-time special purchases which we will tag as such.
Q. Do you ship
outside of the United States?
A. We ship everywhere in the
world. Please contact us for shipping information outside of the United
States.
Q. What kind of
payments do you accept?
A. We accept checks, money
orders, and credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and
Discover.
