Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping Times

Generally, Art & Wisdom card decks, Storm Journey decks, and Standard Art Prints will arrive in 3 to 8 days.* Giclée Art Prints take 7 to 18 days, since they are made by an artisan printer in Oregon and shipped to me for signature. Contact Melanie about original art, since timing varies with packing materials.

*Any delays in shipping will be announced on a banner at the top of the website Home page.

Thanks for your patience and understanding! I am doing my best as a solo business person-- currently fulfilling all the orders myself-- with a lot of love and gratitude.

Watermarks

Marking each image with a watermark is one way to help protect my copyright online. (The watermark is the shadowy rectangle with handwritten 'Listen For Joy' placed over the top of each image.)

Watermarks do not appear on any of the Art Prints or Art Card Deck images.

Copyright Information

I'm so glad many people are inspired by my imagery! However, I cannot at this time give permission for others to use my art. All of my images are copyright protected, so please do not copy, print, reproduce, or alter any of my art or text from the ListenForJoy.com website or any of my images found elsewhere on the web.

Image Use

I am not giving permission right now for anyone to use my images for other projects. I'm taking a sabbatical from image use, due to complications and overwhelm. It's enough right now for me to focus on shipping orders and making new art.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
