Your message will be a unique work of art. I'll write your chosen message on natural coloured stones and send you two photos, one in colour and one in black and white. ***Up to 35 normal size stones MAXIMUM for a single gig, please purchase 'extras' for longer messages or small stones if necessary.*** The lettering on the stones will be either in black or white and arranged randomly. This would make an ideal classy gift, (birthday, anniversary or digital message) or a promotion for your website but the uses are limited only by your imagination. Decide on the message you need, (preferably short since space will obviously be limited however ASK FIRST if in doubt - maximum number of characters 70 normal size if extras purchased) then place your order! The photos will, as always, be high quality and turnaround fast. If you have to wait, it will only be so I can write on extra stones! ***If you need a heart shape around the message, please also purchase appropriate extra. ***For small stones as additional message or tagline, see 'extra' - order per 40 characters up to maximum 120.

**NOTE** Prices have been changed wef April 2013; logos now cost extra - see below. Also note: No photoshop is used on these, so they need to be suitable and simple enough for a hand-cut stencil. **** ASK FIRST IF IN DOUBT. ***** I will cut a stencil to make your text message on top of the coffee using chocolate sprinkles - 8 letters maximum across the diameter works best size-wise (there is just 4" for me to work with) but I can do up to three lines. For longer words/messages or URLs you would be best choosing to have this done as curved text around the edge of the cup.. Please note that tiny text doesn't work well as the chocolate melts on the hot coffee, and the stencil is hard to cut. Please ASK first about logos before ordering which now cost extra. You will get several images with a couple of different colour backgrounds. Also see the extras below for adding newspaper messages, a written note or having extra coloured backgrounds or montages made from the image.

Can I make you eat your words? Do you have something you want to say, in a different and unique way? Tell me the message & I'll spell it out for you then email you the photo. PLEASE try to keep the words short enough to fit on a slice of toast – 10 characters are about the most that fit before it starts to look messy! The letters are all capitals and space is limited. Long URLs don't work as well as short words which I'm able to arrange across several lines. One alternative option if you need more room is to have this written without the toast, directly on the plate, with a random small amount of spaghetti, as if someone has just finished their meal. It may sound odd but actually looks very effective (and even clearer than on the toast). This was how I did it for the recent fiverr cover competition, and was one of the winners. I use a white plate and 3 or 4 different coloured backgrounds. If you want a 'fancy' version with napkin, flowers etc, then pls purchase the 'extra' shown below this gig. As always, ask first if you're unsure, and look at the examples of my work to get an idea of what is possible. Add your favourite to feedback for it to show in the live portfolio

**Please note** These are HAND DRAWN and NOT computer-generated so some variations WILL occur in light and detail. I will produce a stop-motion video of 10 seconds or less for the basic $5. The max length is 30 seconds (meaning you need to purchase 3 gigs or appropriate extra). It may over-run but that will be due to my miscalculation. To work out length, read your message aloud at normal speaking rate & time it. That's how I calculate it rather than counting words (though around 10-15 words plus SIMPLE drawing is 10 seconds). If you keep it simple, you'll be likely to get a really fast delivery. I don't like long queues and do the straightforward orders first. If you need a more complicated drawing or logo or one involving colouring then order the 'extras' to cover the additional time - but 30 secs MAX. Please supply jpg images or links for any drawings needed (NOT photos) which I copy. Music is NOT provided but I'll add some if you send an mp3 file (see extra). These are filmed on my iPad and I can't control the quality or provide HD. I DON'T do whiteboard animations so don't send me any 5 min youtube examples please. ASK FIRST if unsure please.

**PLEASE ALWAYS ASK FIRST** I'm creative. I take photographs, write, draw, make things - and happily mess with coffee and spaghetti! Some ideas would not sustain a gig of their own but need adapting in some way or maybe you've seen a gig and had an idea of how it could be used to suit your specific needs. You may have some odd thing that you need and can't find the gig to suit. This, then, is that one. It's an 'ask first, order later' gig. You tell me what you have in mind and I'll say if I can or will do it, then you order. I anticipate several messages before finalising any order - please respect my decision to say no if I can't do it. Also expect to purchase more than one gig to cover the cost of work if necessary. I won't be asking more than is reasonable but if more than usual work is needed then I hope you'd be willing to see what's involved and buy accordingly. We will agree on the cost before the order is placed, naturally, then you click 'order more than one' when ordering. And if your question is 'will you accept a tip?', the answer is always YES please!
