How to Purchase Your Own Custom Painted Screen
Screen painting are attractive and very durable. If they are properly cared for by simply hosing the dust off two or three times during the summer, they should last more than a lifetime. Each one is unique and original and signed by the artist. And the cost is comfortably affordable.
Step 1
Call or e-mail Dee with the measurements of your screen(s) to find out the price. The phone number is 410-391-1750. The e-mail address is wa3tun@aol.com
Step 2
Ask yourself this very important question:
Which side is outside and which side is up on your screen?
Stick a two-inch length of masking tape along the top border of the side of your screen that faces the outdoors. Mark it "top - outside" in ink. This is the best way to ensure the proper side of the screen will be painted. If you are sending more than one screen, then they will have different pictures on each of them, unless you request otherwise. You can expect, however, the traditional, pastoral theme of a red-roofed cottage or bungalow, a pond, and a couple of swans on a wooded background.
Step 3
The easiest way to ship your screen via UPS is to cut two pieces of cardboard from a large box. You can easily find one at your local appliance or furniture store. Sandwich the screen between them and then wrap the edges in good duct tape. Do not remove the screen from the frame with the intent of rolling the screen up and sending it in a mailing tube. It becomes difficult to paint and it is almost impossible to replace it back into your frame.
Step 4
Make a note of the UPS fee for shipping your screen to Baltimore and please add this amount to the total on your check so that the screen can be returned the same way.
