  • Details
    Hello and welcome to The Whimsy Brush!

    PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS LISTED BELOW. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO MESSAGE ME.

    This listing is for a SEMI-CUSTOM bible design. Semi-custom means that the layout of the design and the sunflower floral style shown in the listing photos stays the same. The base color and accent colors can be customized. Base bible color options are dark ink navy, midnight navy, black, black plum or warm gray. Lettering (verse or quote) can be also customized. PLEASE message me prior to ordering so I can verify that your verse request will fit within the design.

    **I carry KJV and ESV journaling bibles in stock. The ESV journaling bible is slightly smaller than the KJV journaling bible.

    **I also carry the NIV "Red Letter Edition" journaling bible in stock and it would also be an option for this design. Please note however that it is slightly different in that it has a stitched seam down the front and back, other wise the cover is smooth and paints nicely. This bible also only comes in what is called comfort print making this bible slightly thicker than the other in stock options.

    **Journaling format bibles have a 2" wide lined margin for writing and note taking on each page.

    **Measurements can be found in the FAQ section under policies.

    **Now available-custom bible bags 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 fold over clutch style bags are available in black, navy, light gray, blush and ivory velvet. The single zipper non-fold bag is available in gray tweed. All bags are fully lined with muslin with gold zippers and leather pulls.

    **Bible example shown is based in dark ink navy with sunflowers added in shades of golden yellows, soft lavender, white and periwinkle. Foliage is added in shades of soft sage and olive green. Lettering is metallic gold. Metallic silver, metallic copper, metallic rose gold, light gray and white are also lettering color options.

    DESIGN PRICING OPTIONS DEFINED:
    ** 1 SIDE OPTION-Price includes: Floral design as shown on front, spine and back. Lettering on 1 side + spine.
    2 SIDE OPTION-Price includes: All of the above plus lettering on the second side.
    **PLEASE NOTE: 2 side option price includes a verse on one side and personalization of name on the second side. If requesting a verse on both sides there will be an additional lettering fee of $10.
    **HOLY BIBLE will be the default on the spine unless something different is requested.

    **Please note that 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 will develop a small hairline split in the paint at the bend of the spine. 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. This adds to the uniqueness of the hand painted/hand made item!!

    **Please note that all bibles are painted upon order, no returns accepted unless there is an error on my part. Florals will vary slightly in color from the listing photos as they are blended while wet. No two bibles will be exactly the same.

    ** 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.

    Thank you for visiting The Whimsy Brush!

    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.
