Why does my item look different from the product photo?

All resin will amber over time. We recommend that all resin items be kept out of direct sunlight or under heat to reduce the chances of yellowing.

Can you do wholesale orders?

Can you do custom orders?

Custom Ordering options can be found under the Custom Orders section of my website.

If you already have pre-dried or pre-pressed flowers you would like utilized in your designs, please reach out via email to info@darkwhimsy.com to inquire more details.

Primarily I utilize pressed flowers in my designs. If you have whole dried flowers the process is very different and whole dried flowers in general cannot be utilized with certain designs including current offerings of my more shallow wood trays. If you have whole dried flowers then other offerings may need to be sourced.

Most designs are custom in themselves and not always able to be replicated. The availability of products, especially pressed flowers, will affect whether we can create an additional item or not.
