THE PROCESS

A customized piece of art is all the more special when the step by step process of its creation is documented.  With the purchase of each of my hand-drawn astrological charts, you, as the client, will be very much involved in its creation.  Here is the usual process I follow in creating your individualized horoscope.  Also, keep in mind, because each piece is completely unique, the process of your art can be negotiated otherwise.

1.  I am contacted by personal email @ alma.alchemista@gmail.com, on Facebook, or through my Etsy Store @ https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlmaAlchemista.
As soon as possible (usually within 24 hours) you will receive the following email:

Thank you for your interest in my art!  Each piece I create is completely unique and customized to your desires.  Please send the information listed below so I can envision the perfect horoscope for you.  If you really like one or two particular pieces from my websites, just send them to me and we can start there.

You can look at examples at  https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlmaAlchemista/ or

Please send me the following: names (as you want them on your chart), birthdates, times, locations;as well as the  size of chart you would like, how many circles you want in the design, and background motif. The following prices are standard per piece, however, everything Is negotiable.

8 x 11": 40
11 x 14": 80
18 x 24": 95

Adding color, gold highlighting, or antiquing is an extra 10 dollars. You can choose your own template (layout : number and placement of circles), background motif/theme, and horoscope type: tropical (western), sidereal/lahiri ( eastern/ vedic, chinese), or BOTH.

Each chart includes a 6-9 page written explanation of the horoscope. It can be sent to you either in a tube (rolled) or flat.  I do NOT send glass through the mail, so framing is up to you. The easiest form of payment for me currently is a personal check via USPS.

Please email me with any questions you have.  Thank you again.

2.  Once we have communicated via email or phone (if necessary) I will email you a pencil draft of your chart.  Here is an example:  

 

3. We will keep working on the pencil draft until both you and I are satisfied.  Next I will send you an inked drawing WITHOUT your personal information included yet.   If you are happy, it is time to send me some money.  My prices on Etsy are negotiable and I barter very often.  I prefer personal checks in the mail, however, my Etsy store has a credit card option.

4.  Once I have received your money I will fill in your personal information and paint the chart as you have requested.

5.  If you are not personally picking up your chart, I unfortunately cannot frame it for you.  It will arrive in a tube (rolled) or flat, your choice, with a 6-9 page personalized horoscope based on your planetary aspects and house positions.  I recommend sending everything in a tube.  Once you have received your chart I would appreciate if you sent me confirmation of its arrival and your reaction.  I work very hard so that ALL my customers are satisfied. 

Here is an example of a chart documented step by step. Enjoy! and contact me soon.
