Questions

What you might be wondering.

  • How long does a commission take?

    Most pieces take 3-4 weeks from sign-off to ship. Larger memorial commissions can take 5-6 weeks. We give you a real timeline before you commit.

  • How customizable is each piece?

    Every piece is one of one. Names, dates, faces, scenes, lei, and Hawaiian motifs are all on the table. Tammy will tell you honestly if an idea won't work on the gourd.

  • How do I pay?

    A 50% deposit secures your place in the queue and locks in design. The remaining 50% is due when the piece ships. We accept bank transfer, Zelle, or check.

  • Where do you ship?

    Continental US shipping is included in the price. International shipping is at cost, fully insured. We pack pieces with serious care - gourds are delicate.

  • What about memorial pieces?

    Memorial commissions get an extra consultation call so we can honor the person properly. Bring photos, stories, and anything else that matters. There is no rushing this kind of work.

  • What if I don't love it?

    You sign off on sketches and color direction before brushwork begins. We do not move forward until you are excited. In 20 years of commissions, this has never been a real problem.
