Announcement    SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT, PLEASE READ:
I WILL BE OUT OF STUDIO JULY 15TH THROUGH AUGUST 15TH DUE TO PERSONAL MEDICAL. PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL STILL BE TAKING ORDERS DURING THAT TIME BUT THE SHIP DATES WILL BE PUSHED BACK BY 4 WEEKS. THERE WILL BE NO RUSH ORDERS AVAILABLE. If you are in need of a Bible in the upcoming future I recommend getting your order placed asap. I am currently booked out through early June.

Bible bags that are available in the shop are on closeout. I will not be getting more so if you desire to have a bag now is the time :)

Thank you to all Etsy and Instagram followers for your continued support of The Whimsy Brush! Your likes, comments, love, purchases and reviews are so very appreciated!

I would love to tell you a little about my shop. All hand painted items have 100% hand brushed lettering. These designs are original to The Whimsy Brush. I specialize in whimsical cottage florals hand painted on custom keepsake journals and Bibles. These Bibles make wonderful wedding guest book alternatives, baptism gifts, special family/friend gifts and personal use for study. My hope and mission is that these hand painted beautiful Bibles will excite and encourage your desire to spend time in His word.

PLEASE NOTE: Most items in my shop are made to order. I only have a few things that I carry in stock already painted and ready to ship. These items are in the Quick Ship section of the shop. Due to my current order demand, shipping times can sometimes be up to 6 weeks, unless stated otherwise in the listing. I am a one-designer production so I appreciate your patience with my processing times.

*If a RUSH ORDER is needed, here is how it works:
All orders are placed on my M-F work schedule in the order they are received. If you are needing your custom order sooner than my average turnaround time please message me PRIOR to ordering to discuss the details of your date needed. RUSH orders are on a limited basis and I reserve only a few time slots on the weekends and sometimes late evenings to accept RUSH orders when needed. This is the only way I will place an order ahead of others. I try to take my evenings and weekends off to spend time with family but I also want to be able to accommodate my customers needs whenever possible. These orders are subject to a $35 per item RUSH fee. Once you request a RUSH order I will send you a custom rush order listing link for the additional $35 fee. This custom listing must be purchased within 24 hours once the link has been requested. I will NOT hold a RUSH order time slot longer than 24 hours once requested. If the listing is NOT purchased within that time it will expire and become available for the next person. You will need to upgrade your shipping to Priority or Priority Express at checkout to ensure you item is delivered quickly.

**I do accept custom orders, and would be more than happy to work with you to create something special. I do not accept custom orders for designs or quotes that do not glorify God or honor The Holy Bible in which it is painted on. Florals and landscapes are my main design. I also offer specialized florals to match bridal bouquets, wedding color themes and baby nursery themes.

**Please note that I do not reserve an order spot on my schedule until an order has been purchased. If you are working with me through messages to create your custom and I give you a completion timeline estimate, it is based on my current order schedule. This schedule changes daily as orders are purchased. As time passes while working on the details of your order the timeline can change.

**If you are local to Stillwater, OK or live close by and would like to pick up your order to avoid shipping charges please message me prior to placing your order so I can remove the shipping charges.

My daily prayer is that everything I do through my instrument of creativity is to glorify God.

The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:11

Thank you for stopping by!!
Blessings!!

*Bilingual RVR 1960/KJV NON-JOURNALING Bible (dark base color designs only) 5.5" W x 8.5" T x 1.5" (Personal Size)

What Pens and Highlighters work best with the Bibles?

I recommend Sakura Micron Pens. These pens won't bleed through the pages but due to the thin nature of Bible pages they will "shadow" onto the opposite side.

I recommend the Accu-Gel Highlighters for highlighting verses. These highlighters are not wet like regular highlighting pens and won't wrinkle the pages from the moisture.

How well do the painted Bibles hold up?

Hand-Painted Bibles are intended for gentle use and keepsake purposes. I have worked hard to develop a special paint medium blend that allows flexibility at the bend in the spine. Although the paint is more flexible a slight split in the paint can still develop in the bend of the spine area over time. This is a natural occurrence and can't be avoided completely on any painted Bible. I also recommend a darker base color design for heavier use. Using a carrying case for added protection is encouraged.

How to clean your Bible surface: For scuffs on a light colored design use a gum eraser. On all Bibles you can use a slightly damp soft cloth with very gentle pressure. DO NOT rub!

Is there a warranty provided with a hand painted Bible?

I do not provide any type of warranty. Reason why... once the Bibles leave my shop I have no idea how they are being treated. Painted Bibles will develop scratches and scuffs if not properly cared for. I do recommend using a Bible carrying bag for daily use and transporting. Painted Bibles will show wear at the bend of the spine. Paint will develop a small hairline split over time, this can't be prevented as paint is not intended to bend. I have worked very hard to find a paint/medium blend that helps minimize the splitting. This is also the reason why I will only paint dark base colors over a dark hard cover Bible and light base colors over a white hard cover Bible. Please be sure to message me with any concerns or issues.

What are my custom options?

Custom options and ideas include:
-custom floral color scheme
-choice of short song verse or scripture verse (either side) 3 to 14 words look best without looking crowded.
-names and/or date (either side)
-longer verses will require using both sides (additional charge for 2 side design applies)
-Holy Bible, first name or names, last name or initials on spine

PLEASE NOTE: A common topic is the apostrophe in the last name, here is the rule.
*When a family name (a proper noun) is pluralized, we almost always simply add an "s." So we go to visit the Smiths, the Grants, the Grays, etc. When a family name ends in s, x, ch, sh, or z, however, we form the plural by added -es, as in the Marches, the Joneses, the Maddoxes, the Bushes, etc.

How long will it take to receive my custom order?

My current order load averages 6 weeks processing time.

Do you off RUSH on custom orders?

I do offer RUSH orders. Here is how it works. I am a one-person production and this is what I do full-time. Orders are scheduled Monday through Friday in the order they are received. I reserve a few RUSH order spots on the weekends that I am available to work. These spots are the only way to place a new order ahead of others. RUSH orders will have a $35 RUSH fee. If you need a RUSH order please message me prior to placing your order to ensure that I have openings available. Once confirmed I will send you a custom RUSH order link for purchase that includes the additional fee. This custom listing must be purchased within 24 hours once the link is sent. If NOT purchased within that time it will expire and you will lose your spot.

Do you offer any other Bible versions other than what you show in stock?

All journaling Bibles I carry in stock have a smooth cover perfect for painting. The journaling format provides extra space for note taking.

**I am happy to search for other versions that are not offered in my shop. All Bibles must be a smooth hardcover or cloth over board surface. Unfortunately a lot of versions do not come in the appropriate type of cover for painting. I am very particular about the surface type that I paint on to keep the integrity of the finished product for long term durability. I also discourage using Bibles that have a lot of embossed lettering on the front. The indented lettering or design will show even after painted. Feel free to message me regarding any Bible version question.

Can I send you my personal Bible to be painted?

Unfortunately, I only sell the Bibles I carry in stock, and do not accept send-in Bibles. Without knowing the type of material on the Bible I can’t trust and promote the integrity of my product. I have found from experience that certain types of Bible covers do not accept paint well. Through trial and error I have fine-tuned my process and products to make sure that the Bibles made are of good quality.
