How to Adopt

Want to purchase a piece of my art but don’t know how? 

☀️ I always make new art available in the form of “Shop Drops” (sometimes called art drop or shop update) which is always on a Friday at 2pm EST. Generally, every other Friday is shop drop day with more pieces and every other Friday from that, I will have 1-2 pieces available in an auction. My goal is to have something in my shop every week, unless otherwise announced. It’s only me over here doing everything, and I have a family and two children, so sometimes things come up and I work a little bit slower. 🫶🏻

☀️ What to expect during a shop drop ☀️

  • Remember, if the update is scheduled at 2pm EST, that means nothing will be available to purchase until exactly that time. 
  • Make sure you double check the time zone, everything I do is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST).
  • I do not make them same piece twice, so once a piece has found a new home, it is gone. The only way to get something similar is by requesting a custom order or waiting until I revisit that theme once more. I only accept custom orders sometimes and always announce them ahead of time. They usually become available at the same time as a shop update.

💗 The best way to keep informed about when a shop drop will happen, is by subscribing to my newsletter (LishMail). You can sign up for my newsletter on the home page of my website and scrolling down to the big green box. Just enter your email and make sure you are subscribed. (You will receive a confirmation email) ☀️ You can see all past and current newsletters on my blog

*** I have recently started a subscribers channel on my facebook page, which gives those paid subscribers on facebook a password to enter my store during a lockdown hour, which allows them 30 minutes early to shop for the art piece they want. Sometimes subscribers may snag one or all sculptures before a 2pm drop.

**About the subscribers tier and early access to shop updates:

I am trying out a new subscribers tier on facebook.

Here’s what you should know:

  • becoming a subscriber is currently only available through facebook (you have to have 10,000 followers and it’s the only platform I can currently)
  • you must be “subscribed” on facebook and it is a monthly subscription cost of $4.99 (which you can cancel anytime!)
  • there will be extra perks to being a subscriber: exclusive look at projects, work in progress, poetry, polls, world building and more (expect around 2-4 posts per month or roughly one a week)
  • ⭐️ ⭐️ the biggest perk being that all subscribers will get a HALF HOUR early access to my store - which means all subscribers will get first pick on sculptures and will be able to enter my shop via a password at 1:30pm EST (password will be posted at least one day in advance to subscribers only, in a facebook post directly on my feed)

***please remember that nothing will show up in the shop until exactly at 1:30pm like a normal shop update. I will manually remove the password page directly at 2pm, which will unlock my shop for the rest of the public. The password for this week has been posted in a subscribers only post on facebook!

🚨🚨 PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THE TIME ZONE!! 🚨🚨

I have had people miss out on the sculpture they wanted because they didn’t check the time zone! I put this in all my posts, I live in the EASTERN TIME ZONE! <3

 

 

- one more way to stay informed is by following my facebook and instagram pages. I always announce shop updates on my social media ahead of time. 

💗 I will not send more than 2-3 emails per month.

⭐️ My shop accepts all major forms of payment, including PayPal. There is an option to check out with Shop Pay as well, which offers a payment plan! 

⭐️ Please remember, I do not reserve or place holds on art. They always sell on a first come first serve basis. <3

As always, thank you so much for making my dreams come true so I can be an artist. I am so grateful that I get to live this life.
