FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (Treasures Of Desire)
1. General & Brand
Q: What is Treasures Of Desire?
A: Treasures Of Desire is a magical one-stop shop for unique, handmade goods. I create a vast range of products, from original fine art and digital prints to handcrafted items like polymer clay jewelry, bath bombs, journals, and custom heat-pressed apparel. Every item is made with quality and intention!
Q: How do you price such a wide variety of items?
A: All pricing is based on a professional labor rate to ensure fair pay for my time, plus the cost of materials.
Art & Jewelry: Priced primarily on hours of detailed labor (at a base of $30/hour) and the quality of art-grade materials.
Consumables (Bath/Candles): Priced on the high-quality ingredients (oils, essential oils, waxes) and complex formulations.
Printed/Designed Goods: Priced on the initial design time (for planners, coloring books, decals) and the quality of the blank item (for shirts/totes).
2. Art (Originals, Prints, & Stationery)
Q: What materials are used in your original mixed media drawings?
A: I use only professional, artist-grade materials for longevity. This includes Sharpie and Betem Acrylic Markers, Prismacolor colored pencils, and Brea Reese Dot Metallics on premium paper.
Q: Why is the 11x14 original fixed at $195?
A: My 11x14 originals require 5 or more hours of intensive labor. We fix the price at $195 as an exceptional value for new collectors, ensuring you get a large, high-quality original at an accessible price point for the current economy.
Q: What is the price for the new 11x11.5 originals?
A: Our 11x11.5 originals are currently priced at $180. This size is perfect for showcasing the new, focused compositions and offers a fantastic, slightly smaller original piece at an excellent price point.
Q: What type of stationery and paper goods do you offer?
A: I offer a full line of custom-designed paper goods, including journals, planners, note pads, laminated paper bookmarks (hand-drawn!), digital posters, and coloring books. It's important to note that the digital posters and coloring books are created as original artwork digitally using Procreate—they are not simply scans or reproductions of my physical mixed media drawings. All items feature my original art and designs.
3. Handmade & Crafted Goods
Q: Tell me more about your jewelry and accessories. What materials do you use?
A: I specialize in detailed accessories like polymer clay earrings, stainless steel earrings, beaded bracelets, necklaces, and resin keychains/bookmarks. I prioritize high-quality, durable materials, including surgical-grade stainless steel for sensitive skin.
Q: What goes into your bath, candle, and ritual items?
A: My bath line includes bath bombs, soaps, salt scrubs, and bath salts, all crafted with high-quality, soothing ingredients. I also create unique magical oils and beeswax candles (votive and glass container) that can be paired with my ritual tool boxes, bowls, and cups.
Q: Do you make your own apparel designs?
A: Yes! I use a professional heat-press process to create custom designs on tote bags, hats, and shirts, ensuring durable, high-quality, and unique wearable art.
