3 different ways to Reimagine an Original
Any original can be reimagined, recoloured, reshaped, redesigned, or even renamed.
Reimagining 1: Recolour
Suggest recolour changes you like, such as “I want a blue-green version of this red-orange piece”
Write to me, tell me your ideas, and I’ll produce a coloured sample for you.
Reimaging 2: Resize and Reshape
You may want a roundel to become a tall rectangle to fit in with your existing interior design ideas and spaces.
Or you may want a dozen boardroom coasters based on a larger centrepiece bowl.
You might even want a set of wall-mounted pieces based on elements of a previous larger work.
All doable.
Reimagining 3: Redesign
You can reimagine the design of a work.
For example, replace the roses with sunflowers.
Or you might want a heart motif, or something of sentimental value, or even an important word or name inserted into the original design.
Again, all doable.

FAQ
Will my reimagined work be an authentic original?
Yes. Artists throughout history have continuously developed their ideas and themes with the help of patrons. Picasso and Monet stand out as obvious examples.
Each reimagined work comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, plus a small discrete “Linda ‘24” signature etched on the back of the glass, so you can be sure your piece is an original.
How much does it cost to reimagine?
Typically a reimagined piece costs the same as the original, or perhaps a bit more if the redesign work is extensive.
Can I send you a photograph of what I like, and you tell me what it costs?
Yes. Once I can see an idea that you have, such as a photograph of a place, your rooms, or surrounding design work, I can start to get ideas, and send you a range of sample costs.
I have an idea but am not sure if it’s feasible in glass art.
I love to hear ideas. I'm an artist!
Describe what you want as best you can, and I'll develop a possible solution for you which we can both then discuss until we get it perfect.
Email me at:
linda(at)glassartbylinda.com and tell me in your own words what you're thinking of.
Can I have my astrology sign embedded in the work?
Yes. This sort of redesign is great fun to do. You could have any symbol, name or sentimental motif you like. Can do!
I'm an artist. Can I have one of your originals with my colour ideas?
Yes. I love working with people with strong colour ideas. Send me a sample palette, and I'll revert with answers.
