WALL HANGING FAQs

How do I take care of my wall hanging?
Each piece is protected with a coating of carnauba wax to prevent natural oxidation, however, over time this is likely to occur. To counter this, polish the lead free metal around the crystals or stones with a soft cloth and all metal polish if needed.

Where do you recommend I place my wall hanging?
Where you can see it every day and feel happy staring at it.

Our hangings are for indoor use only. The crystals and precious handmade pieces need to be protected from the outside elements.

When you’re hanging on walls it’s always important to ensure using the correct weighted hooks or screws that will support your hanging properly.

What don’t you recommend when I hang my wall hanging?
We don’t recommend hanging them any where that is prone to condensation or moisture. Some crystals are particularly fragile (like selenite) if their quality is compromised they may even disintegrate.

We don’t recommend any hanging to be placed within reach of young children or above cots/change tables. Our hangings are fragile with small pieces, that could be a choking hazard.

Shipping within Australia
Our hangings differ in shape, size and weight. Additional shipping costs are added dependent on these variables and the destination. We ship using Australia Post and will send your artwork to you within 3 business days of your order being placed. You should receive your parcel within 2-6 weeks. This may vary due to covid-19 delays.

Shipping Internationally (NZ, UK & US only)

Same as above, but also **When shipping Internationally there may be import taxes and duty laws which we cannot cover in your purchase. You will need to check with your country’s purchasing limits prior to sale so you aren’t met with any surprises.

Sustainability

It’s so important to us that we practice what we preach. If you’ve come to this section we’re super happy about it. It means you care and think about this enough for it to guide your decisions when purchasing. There are just the two of us running this business and we know this means our conversations with suppliers remain personal and consistent.
Our crystals are only from ethical suppliers around the world such as Australia, Brazil, China, America and India. Ethically sourced means environmentally sustainable, fair trade, and ethical business practices are maintained. Our suppliers have long-term agents in overseas ports that have a clear understanding of what type of products they buy and how they are sourced.

We also up-cycle some treasures that our resident artist/magpie Maree has sourced over the years in the thought of ‘I could make something out of this’….and now she has!

Your parcels are also packaged with reused packaging filler or biodegradeable void filler, not the ‘green wash’ kind, but the kind that actually is biodegradeable! You can even eat it. But don’t. It’s yucky.

We’re conscious of the metals and products that we use that are going to bring high energy into your environment rather than toxins. If we don’t want to work with it, we don’t want you living with it.

PRINTS FAQs

Are your prints made to order?
Yes! We use a Melbourne based professional printer as we’re all about supporting local business when and where we can. Our printing standards are very high as is their production.

What is Fine Art Printing?
We use Museum grade inks and paper (Cotton Rag) that will last 100 years! This means they will not fade. Our photographer’s computer monitor is also calibrated to our printers so that the colours once printed are consistent and as they were intended by Maree (our photographer extraordinaire). Each print recreated will be the same each time!

NB: Every monitor is calibrated differently so there may be slight variance in what you see on your computer verse the physical product.

Shipping within Australia

**When shipping Internationally there may be import taxes and duty laws which we cannot cover in your purchase. You will need to check with your country’s purchasing limits prior to sale so you aren’t met with any surprises.
