Eikeda is the Card and Craft making company that Nikkie owns and runs seperately from the various services also offered by this website.
Eikeda mostly offers personalised stationery for weddings and corporate use, but she also takes her handmade items and sells them at various craft fairs all over the UK.
Her items include: cards for all occasions; resin set flowers and arrangements; fresh/artificial flower arrangements; gift boxes; and picture frames. Photographs of these items are available to view in the example gallery below along with the price (excluding postage). She can't guarentee anything photographed is still available to buy, but she can re-make pretty much everything shown- just ask!.
Another area that she covers is portraits and paintings on commission. Portraits can only be done via photograph, but other items/buildings can either be done via photograph or "live" (basically she'll sit infront of the subject and draw/paint it for you). This service makes a very personal gift and is perfect to give a loved one on a special occasion.
Perhaps your father loves a particular train and would love that in a framed, large watercolour version to display proudly in his home? Or maybe you have a few different locations you'd like to create into a montage/painting for your partner so they can remember the lifes journey you've had together? What about a painting of a newly married couples first home? Someone's retirement home perhaps? You've just redecorated and need some artwork for the walls, but can't find the thing you want in the shops- Ask Nikkie! The possibilities are endless! All pieces are orginial and unique to you.
She can work in any medium- watercolour, arcylic, oil, pastel, charcoal etc- on to any surface [restrictions apply with certain medium/surface combinations] including wood, glass, tiles, canvas, paper etc. Framing is optional and dependant on resulting commission.
If you have an idea, and want to know the aproximate cost, please email Nikkie and state your requirements. She works very hard to make sure the cost she quotes is the amount you pay, but this can never be guarenteed. Please also tell her your location so she can include the postage cost in your quote.
Her prices are very reasonable and postage & packaging is included in the price. As the postage is already included- bulk buying WILL NOT result in a lower price. Glass, Candles etc can get heavy so remember that the price includes postage- something that may seem expensive at first glance really isn't! Each item is bespoke and once it has sold, that's it, no more. Even items that are in "sets" will vary slightly from one another.
This is a paypal checkout system... Every effort has been made to make sure it works ok but there's only so much that can be checked. If something goes wrong, an item is out of stock but still lets you buy etcetc- You will be notified and/or refunded ASAP.
All the hand painted glass items have been cured onto the glass meaning they will withstand washing on the TOP shelf of a dishwasher. This durability hasn't been tested [I don't have a dishwasher!] so you do this at your own risk! My recommendation is to wash them in luke warm soapy water by hand and avoid using abrasive cloths.
