DetailsHello and welcome to The Whimsy Brush!
PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS LISTED BELOW. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO MESSAGE ME.
**FULLY CUSTOM FLORAL is a design that has not been created yet. These designs take more time than previously painted and created designs. I will do my very best to try and fit all requests into the design. Please keep in mind there is a limited amount of space.
**THIS LISTING IS FOR THE "BASE PRICE" OF A FULLY CUSTOM FLORAL. IF REQUESTING MORE THAN 3-4 FLORAL and/or ELEMENTS THERE COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
**The photos in this listing are an "example" of a fully custom Bible.
**All BIBLES ARE PAINTED CUSTOM UPON ORDER WITH AN AVERAGE ESTIMATED TURN AROUND OF APPROX. 4 WEEKS. PLEASE MESSAGE ME PRIOR TO ORDERING IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF A RUSH ORDER. PLEASE REFER TO RUSH POLICY IN SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT ON MAIN PAGE FOR DETAILS.
**FULLY CUSTOM design is a perfect way to preserve the memory of your beautiful wedding or to have a personal Bible for a forever keepsake.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:
We will work together to create your fully custom Bible to reflect your wedding day or important life events! Please keep in mind that incorporating too many elements or too much lettering can become crowded looking. Pick 3-4 floral and/or elements that are the most important to you.
**Select your Bible version. Please note: all light base designs MUST be painted on the ESV or CSB versions. These versions are the only options that come in a white or light gray hard cover best suited for light pastel base colors. These versions have square corners. Other in stock versions available for dark base designs are ESV, KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, and BIS Catholic. All Bibles are journaling format. The BIS Catholic Bible has a small indented logo/lettering that slightly shows after painting plus they have square corners. All other versions are completely smooth on the front/back with rounded corners. If there is a version you are interested in that is not listed please feel free to message me and I will check to see if it is a paintable option.
**Your Bible can include: a short verse, quote or lyric on one side (there are limits due to space), lettering on spine and name/names/date on second side. Please include these requests in the message box when ordering, I refer to spelling for lettering from your message. Once we discuss design this may change but it helps to have your initial requests listed on the order.
**Send me photos of your bouquet/wedding theme inspiration, wedding invitations, any photo references or fabric color samples. Bible will be created custom to match your requests!
**I do not offer draft designs. My Bibles all have a certain style and any custom will be painted in the same style and quality.
Bible bags are a nice add on to carry and protect your hand painted Bible. These bags have been custom made to fit the journaling Bibles I carry in stock. Bags have extra room to accommodate a writing journal. The regular size comes in a velvet fold over clutch style. The regular size and XL size single zipper non-fold bag is available in natural linen and gray tweed. All XL size bags are the single zipper non-fold style. All bags are fully lined with muslin with gold zippers and leather pulls.
**All Bibles come with a canvas drawstring bag if no Bible bag is purchased.
*****IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION AND DISCLAIMERS*****
**The Whimsy Brush reserves the right to publish any works created for a fully custom order.
**No design will be published that has a full first and last name without permission to protect the privacy of my customers.
**I receive my Bibles directly from the publishing companies in bulk. Bibles have very fragile corners and most usually will have some kind of bend, crease or wrinkle in that location. Due to the nature of the product and how frequently they arrive in this condition I am unable to avoid using them if the bend or crease is slight. Severe bends and creases are not used or they are discounted.
**I do my very best to avoid getting any paint on the inside or edges of the pages. Because of the nature of the painting process it will happen from time to time. I will not waste a Bible if this happens. Bibles are precious and I do not believe in wasting a copy of God's Word due to a little splatter or spot of paint.
**These Bibles are hand painted and intended for gentle use and keepsake purposes. Reckless use could result in damages, scratches/scuffs on the painted surface. Bibles can develop a small hairline split in the paint at the bend of the spine over time. This can not be prevented as paint is not intended to bend or crease. If using as a daily Bible I recommend a carrying case for added protection.
**All lettering and florals are hand brushed and will have some visible raised strokes.
**Please note all bibles are painted upon order, no returns accepted unless there is an error on my part.
**Florals and landscapes will vary slightly in color from the listing photos as they are blended while wet. No two Bibles will be exactly the same but will always be very close to what is shown.
** If a custom verse has been requested there may need to be adjustments in the placement of the leaves and florals to allow the custom verse to fit.
**All Bibles come with a canvas drawstring bag if no Bible bag is purchased.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the above information.

*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.In stock versions and dimensions

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.

I asked for a completely customized Bible to match the wallpaper in my baby’s nursery. Not only did Julie make me the most BEAUTIFUL Bible I’ve ever seen….. when I held it up next to the wallpaper, it practically blended in, the match was SO SPOT ON!!!! She totally nailed it and I’ll be forever grateful for such a sweet addition to my baby’s nursery!! I love it so much!!!!
