- Intended Location (home or church?)
- Date/occasion required

3. Await photos and videos the finished work for your approval. Pay by transfer or paypal. Having received payment, the work will be sent via a priority parcel service.
Quality materials
The icon boards are beautifully made to the highest professional standards from linden wood with rebate and bracing if required. The gilding is 23ct gold leaf (matt or burnished water gilding) and the paint is classic egg tempera. In other words, the traditional materials used in late medieval panel painting.
