What is the Index Number for this item?

    For most of the items the index number is shown on the actual picture of the item. It will start with a letter such as C,T, or H and be followed directly by a group of numbers. There should be two dashes separating the last four digits of the index number from the main group of numbers and each other. An example index number would be C219-48-36.

    If there is a number on the picture and also a number in the text below the picture, please use the number in the text below the picture because it reflects its new location in our inventory system. This also applies to titles. If the title of the item is different in the picture and in the bold face text below the picture, please use the bold face text because it is more current than the picture.

    You can skip the step of including the index number if you are unsure, but not providing one may increase the time it takes to ensure that the artist knows exactly which item he should be making for you. If there are two versions of the same picture with the same index number, further clarification may be needed by providing the dimensions or allowing time for us to review the similar items and make sure you get the design you wanted.

Can I use my Credit Card?

     Our current forms of payments include personal checks and money orders. Cash is only accepted at the shop in town on Lancaster Street. The payment must be received in advance of receiving your product. It is our intention to look into establishing online credit card payments at some point in the future.

How long will it take to receive my order?

     Once a request for a piece has been made, then a payment arrangement must be made via phone or e-mail. When that is set up, it will take an average of 4 weeks to prepare your order. The entire balance of the purchase price must be paid before any piece is given to the person who ordered it. Almost every single order is made from scratch, at request, which is why it takes so long to obtain the desired lawn art. During the peak holiday season ( October 1- December 23) orders can take up to 6 weeks to fill because each piece is being custom crafted and painted by hand in the order that the requests were received with preference given to closest holidays if Orders placed by the announced Order By date each year. For those who are considering the option of having your purchase delivered to you, the length of time between the initial request and delivery must be changed to factor in the shipping company delivery time. If you are reading this within a month of the holiday you wanted to decorate for, we highly recommend you continue with your order chances are good you will recieve your item, we are being cautious of promising more then we can deliver as a general rule. No late orders will be given preferential treatment.

Can I make special requests or customize my order?

    Yes. If you see an item you like but wished the hair, eyes, or skin tone were different, those changes are easily accommodated since each piece is created upon request.

    Vinyl lettering can be added as well. Generally pieces designed to accommodate text can display a seasonal greeting and a longer family name. Pieces such as Santa's list are designed to hold a longer list of first names. Text may be added to almost every piece, but it will have to be submitted for measurement by a text specialist at George’s Art before they will guarantee the message will fit. George's Art reserves the right to refuse to add unfit language to their art.

    Lights can only be added to certain size pieces so there is no guarantee that you can purchase an unlighted piece with lights added. Lighted pieces can only be done in C7 or C9size Christmas lights in either a transparent or ceramic tint. (They look like the ones you traditionally place on the exterior of a home but we use commercial grade wiring and bulbs that have a higher quality and safety rating than something you could pick up in a super shopping center.) Transparent lights cause a brighter effect and Ceramic lights cause a softer hue on all the colors in the piece. Our lawn art is not designed to use incandescent, LED or mini lights.

    Signs that are completely unrelated to the holidays or anything featured in the gallery are possible but within certain limitations.

Are all the Items on the website available in the store?

     No.

The store has a range of pre-created pieces that are displayed as a representation of what the artist is capable of doing and to reflect the current season.Many things found in the store tend to be limited editions. If they sell well in the store then a picture is taken for the internet.

Most orders are custom made upon request and may be displayed in the shop for the short time frame between order completion and pick up since the store is easier to get to than the actual workshop.

The best time to find pre-created pieces for Christmas and Fall in the store is in September. For Easter and spring related pieces, the best time to visit the store is late February into early March. The convenience of the store is that you can take home the pieces you find on the same day.

If you want to know if a certain piece or a similar piece has been pre-made and is on display at the store please contact Joyce Luksovsky via +1(361)596-7226 between the hours of 8am and 5pm CST . Calling Joyce to check store availability will not guaranteed that item will ever be pre-created but if it is in the store she may hold it for a time for you. If you see something in the internet showcase you like order it via georgesart@sbcglobal.net and do not rely on the chance it might be avaiable as a pre-created piece at the store.
