Thanks so much, Dittin! I can't wait! Will it be weird to keep a sunshade on my car while it's parked in an underground garage?

If you think of as putting your MINI's eyes on instead of a sunshade, it won't be so weird to put it on in an underground parking lot.

Thanks again!!!
I pulled the actual eyes size from that third pic for this one. Hope it's what you're looking for this time!

That's perfect - now the $64,000 question is - Is it possible to get my order with those eyes???

Thanks

Kristin,

Any estimate on printing completion? I know it will take awhile for the shades to then be shipped to you and then for you to fulfill all the orders. I am just trying to get an idea on when my shade might be here. Luna is due to be delivered to me at the end of the month! I want to show all the guys at the dealership her new eyes!

Molly

PS. I am sorry. I went back a page and saw your last update. Now I know when to expect the shades. Sorry!

Updates!

Hello everyone!

For those of you who have put in a pre-order: The shades have arrived and are going in for printing first thing next week! I'll be letting you know when they are expected to be completed and ready for shipping!

Website update: My website has been updated and cleaned up! I'm pretty happy with the new design and I hope that you like it too! www.artisticreflection.com

I like your website update. The layout works very nicely. I'm not sure about the red theme though. Since most of your art seems to be nature and wildlife based I would have expected a more blue or green theme.

Another update for those who were in on the preorder:

All of your shades will be completed on Oct. 28th! Only two shades are identical so there is going to be quite a bit of variety once they are all done. I'll be sure to take some pictures of the group before they get shipped out.

I have read every post in this thread, and it is great watching genius take shape! I can't wait to see what you all say as you start receiving your eyeshades, I hope to see a whole BUNCH of pics!

I am about to get my Mini wrapped with a design to advertise the pet care service I'm starting work for ... the colors on the wrap aren't finalized yet so I can't order my eyeshades until I see what colors my MC Clubby is going to end up being decorated with.

I can't WAIT!

The printing company was delayed so the shades didn't show up until yesterday, but here's a great pic of what some of them look like! Does anyone spot theirs here? I'm getting them boxed up and they will ship very soon. For those of you receiving one, please post pics of your MINI wearing his or her Eyeshade once it arrives!
