Commissions

I LOVE to create and handcut bespoke designs from a single sheet of paper to create something just for you. Getting started couldn't be simpler...

Option 1

Via the shop you will find 5 styles of cuts that are my bestsellers.  You provide me with the names, dates and other details as required and I will design a unique piece. After you have placed your order, I will contact you to finalise the details to ensure your piece is just right! With a lot of blades, a steady hand and thousands of hours of papercutting experience, small pieces will be cut away until a single sheet is transformed into a beautiful gift or a treasured keepsake. 

Option 2

Alternatively, if you want more freedom than is shown in these classic designs, have a look at the rest of my gallery and you’ll see that the world is your oyster! Since every private and commercial commission is designed and hand cut by me, I can incorporate names, dates, quotes, hobbies, pets and all kinds of imagery into all kinds of designs. Simply contact me at ropecommissions@gmail.com and I will guide you through the design process via email before I get started on your special piece! 

Commission FAQ

How long do they take?

Typically I would allow 28 days between payment and delivery of your order (UK), but this may change depending on the complexity and size of the commission and also how busy my order book is.  I will contact you and give you an estimated completion time. Similarly, if you have a deadline just contact me before you order and I will do my best to fit you in.

How much do they cost?

Depends on what you want! I can give you more detail once we have establish exactly what your requirements are, but as a rough guide an A4 commission piece would start at around £160 unframed.  

Do you hand cut every commission? 

Yes, all my private and commercial commissions are entirely hand cut by me.  

How are they posted and what is the cost of P&P? 

A4 commissions are sent in a sturdy black photography gift box, which is sent in a padded envelope.  The cost of postage and packing is included in the price given (UK addresses only).  They are sent via Royal Mail (Signed for, first class)

Do you ship overseas?

Yes, some of my commissions have happily made their way to Europe, North America, South America and Australia!  Please contact me and I will be able to give you an estimate on timescale and cost of shipping.
