Please note that depending on my health it can take me up to two or three weeks to respond to email - but if after a month you don't hear back from me, please do resend your message to make sure it hasn't been lost on the way. Often, you may receive a reply on my behalf from Aleksander Freda of Dark Pegasus Studios, who does my resin casting and helps with sales logistics.
