MaryGold Tales stationery & custom illustrations is all designed and hand-painted by me in my unique whimsical style. When you choose me to tell your illustrated story, you are choosing to support a small business and will receive extremely high quality, personal service from me at all times. 

My Mini Portrait Package offers a unique experience where guests can get a
hand-painted watercolor portrait of themselves as a personalized
 a one-of-a-kind keepsake for them to remember your event for years to come! 

The mini guest portrait package includes:

- Using archival watercolor paper & high quality paints, small 4"x6” watercolored guest portraits are painted in a loose, minimalistic gestural type style.

- All paintings are inserted into a clear slip for protection for your guests.

- The couple will get their own special painting of themselves -If time doesn't allow during the event because I am giving my attention to your guests, I will paint one in my studio and ship to your home after the event. 

Most guests come to the table in pairs or singles. Because watercolor takes a few minutes to dry, once completed I place the illustration to the side, while your guests can continue to enjoy the festivities and the next guest can step to the table. Once the illustration is dry I will write the guests' name on the front or back (whichever they prefer) and they can be picked up from the display rack.
