A few straight answers.
Materials, shipping, returns, and how checkout works. If your question is not here, write the studio.
Who is The Organic Mechanic?
The Organic Mechanic is the artist shop of William Bowers. The studio makes original psychedelic and visionary paintings, handmade pressed flower resin jewelry, and printed-to-order wearable art and home goods.
Are the paintings originals or prints?
Works in Original Paintings are one-of-a-kind — acrylic, mixed media, or pyrography on canvas or wood. When a painting is marked sold, it has left the studio. An Art Prints category exists on the older store but currently has no products, so prints are not listed for sale here yet.
Are the flowers in the jewelry real?
Yes. Pendants and earrings such as the yellow wildflower earrings, fire flower pendant, cicada wing pendant, and pressed flower and starfish pendant use real pressed botanicals — and, in some pieces, a cicada wing or starfish — set in UV and polymer resin.
Where do you ship?
The shop ships within the United States, with tracking on every order. Some items, including custom-shaped pillows, are available in the U.S. only.
How much is shipping, and how long does it take?
Rates are $6.95 for jewelry, pendants, stickers, and prints; $9.95 for apparel, bags, and home decor; and $30 for original paintings, which are packed with extra care and insured. Each additional item is $3. In-stock items ship in 2–4 business days, with delivery about 3–5 days after that. Print-on-demand items take 5–10 business days to produce before they ship. Custom shoes and hats take about two weeks from payment; large commissions about a month.
What is your return policy?
Jewelry, pendants, and unworn clothing can be returned within 30 days of delivery, in original condition, for a refund or exchange. The customer pays return shipping, and refunds go back to the original payment within five business days of the item being received. Original paintings, prints, stash boxes, and custom, engraved, or commissioned pieces are final sale. Sale items are also final sale. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, email theorganicmechanicshop@gmail.com with photos within seven days of delivery and it will be replaced or refunded at no cost to you.
Do you take commissions and mural work?
Yes. Hand-painted shoes and hats, canvases, wood work, and murals are available by inquiry at theorganicmechanicshop@gmail.com. Custom shoes and hats typically take about two weeks from payment; large commissions about a month. Commissioned work is final sale.
How do custom pet pillows work?
Email a high-resolution photo to theorganicmechanicshop@gmail.com with the subject line “Custom shaped pillow.” Pillows come in 10-, 16-, and 22-inch sizes, print on one side, and are available in the United States only. Full instructions are on the custom pet pillow page.
How does checkout work on this site?
This site is the gallery. When you choose Buy, you continue to The Organic Mechanic’s Big Cartel checkout at theorganicmechanic.bigcartel.com, where you can select any size or color and pay securely with card or PayPal.
How should I care for a piece?
Follow the care notes on each product page. In general, spot-clean shoes and pillows; check apparel listings for wash instructions; treat resin jewelry gently and keep it away from harsh chemicals; and hang or place original paintings out of prolonged direct sun.
