The customization offered at "Tip Top Kids Gallery" provides clients with the option to fit the size and/or tonality of the designs to their own environment and in many cases is free of charge.

All images are individually printed for the client. Although these compositions are not a limited edition, the customizing offers a choice for a unique piece of artwork. Note: the author reserves the right to reject some changes if found not harmonious to the original artwork.

In addition to custom sizes, the composition could be further changed considering the tonality, proportions and backgrounds. Please look at the examples below.

This is the original composition as shown on page 5, #128
"Exotic Animals".

Above: the background is in black. Changes in the composition - most animals are rearanged. The size of the frame is reduced.

This version has white background, the tree is wider and some animals and birds are rearanged.

Above: the direction of the composition is changed to a vertical one.

There is a slight change of the tonality of the backhround.

Picture above: the frame is removed.

CUSTOMIZING IS FREE OF CHARGE WHEN:

1. The image is enlarged but proportions are preserved. Let's assume that the proportions of an image in the gallery catalogue page are 8"x10". The client specifies that the larger side should be 30". Proportionally, the smaller side would be 24".

2. A change in the tonality of the background color, blended color or no color at all (white background) is requested.

4. There is a change to the painted frame around the image: it could be thinner, thicker, in a different color or no frame at all.

5. The composition is flipped horizontally.

6. Addition of text. For example: the print is given as a gift and the client wishes to be dedicated. Donations of prints to children hospitals, day care centers, pre schools and schools of your choice are great! Your name and/or text will be printed for no charge at a lower corner of the print.

7. In addition to the compositions, any individual figure could be requested with or without painted frame (see page 8).

CHARGES FOR CUSTOMIZING WILL APPLY WHEN:

1. The proportions are substantially changed. For example - the original print is square but a rectangular one is ordered.

2. Considerable changes in the composition are requested (see below #101 SEA GARDENS expanded on two walls).

3. There is a removal or addition of figures to the composition.

4. Borders are ordered. They can be made from any figure or group of figures (please see below).

Charges will be proportional to the additional work involved.For any questions please e - mail us at m.elston@earthlink.net

Picture above: this border is made by using the image of the sphinx seen at composition #107. The border is not just for children, it could be used in any bathroom. The hight of borders sold at stores is about plus/minus 6-8 inches. By customizing, it could be printed in any desirable size.
