petzoup faq
- Pet photos - deciding which pet photo to send to petzoup for your hand painted portrait can be a difficult decision. One of the most important pieces of information an artist needs before they begin their work is the true coloring of your pet. Digital photos today can modified your pet's coloring so please provide a photo that has not been retouched and where the coloring is is true to the animal. If you have a photo of the pose that you would like for your pet portrait but the coloring is not true, please send an additional photo that shows the actual coloring. We can paint a full face portrait or profile, whichever the buyer prefers.
- Paint - petzoup uses an acrylic paint made specifically for glass. Our glassware (stemware, stemless, whiskey, decanters and pilsner glasses) are baked after 3 days of cure time to protect your item from loss of paint from normal wear and tear. Our paint will maintain a glossy, permanent finish for years when used according to our care instructions which are included with every item.
- Payment in Full is required before any work is begun. Please use our Contact Page to send any questions regarding your potential purchase to open a discussion with the owner/artist, Dossie Garvey. All decisions in regards to your item will be confirmed before work begins.
- Windows - our windows are found everywhere there is a flea market, a vintage store or a salvage yard. They are all wood with glass panes and we refurbish them without losing the aged look. Window sizes will vary but we provide the proper size for each breed or depending on the number of pets in a single window. Our windows come with a single pane, 2 pane, 4 pane and 6 pane. Larger windows are available at an additional charge, please contact petzoup if you have a need for a larger window. Our buyers have the choice of frame color and preferred background, we are happy to work with you on how you would like your finished window to look. Each window comes with a sturdy bracket on the rear and is ready for hanging in your home or office.
