It’s the perfect gift for a special birthday, wedding or anniversary, books say so much about the story of your life and hold such special memories.

How to commission a very personal piece of original art for the book lover in your life.

The photos are examples of some completed commissions. If you would like a commission outside of the description here contact me by email at mary@marydarchdesign.com, and I will be happy to create the perfect painting for you.

1. Specify the titles and or photos of the book spines, and I use the original spine artwork of each, so they are truly authentic.

2. Specify the details of the image on the top of the stack, this could be flowers, a crest, a favourite packet of biscuits, you choose.

3. I send you an outline black and white sketch for you to check spellings and layout.

4. Choose a relevant favourite saying, this will be added at the top of the stack.
