02

Select the Number of Subjects

For People, Baby, and Pet portraits, tell us how many subjects will appear in the artwork. This helps us show you the correct glass sizes and pricing for your portrait.

MADE BY HAND

No Two Pieces Are Exactly Alike

Every SandAndArt creation is individually handcrafted. Because our artists work directly with natural colored sand, subtle variations are part of what makes each finished artwork completely unique.
