Step-by-Step: How to Start Your Custom Eye Art Order

There is a specific kind of excitement that comes with commissioning a piece of art. It’s different from just buying something off a shelf; it’s the feeling of knowing that something is being created specifically for you, inspired by you.

At Iris Blink, we know that starting a custom eye art order can feel like a new frontier. You might be wondering, "Is my photo good enough?" or "How do I make sure it matches my living room?" We’ve designed our process to be as clear and soulful as the art itself. This isn't just a checkout button, it's the beginning of a transformation.

Step 1: Capturing the Spark(The Photo)

The very first step of your custom eye art order happens in your own home. You don't need a degree in photography or a studio full of lights. All you need is a smartphone and a little bit of curiosity.

The Secret "Side-Light" Trick

When you’re ready to take your photo, don’t use a direct flash from the front that usually creates a big white reflection right over the best parts of your iris. Instead, have a friend hold a flashlight (or even another phone's light) to the side of your eye. This "grazing" light reveals the deep textures, the hidden flecks of gold, and the celestial patterns that we need to create your masterpiece.

Send It Over

Once you have a shot where the iris looks sharp and clear, you’re ready to officially place your custom eye art order. Simply upload the image on our site. Don't worry if there are a few stray eyelashes or a little bit of glare. Our artists are experts at "cleaning the canvas" while keeping the soul of the image intact.

Step 2: The Artist’s Hand (The Proofing Stage)

Once your custom eye art order hits our desk, the human magic begins. We don’t just run your photo through a generic AI filter. A real digital artist looks at your iris and begins to hand-edit the details.

Your First Glimpse

Within about 24 hours of starting your custom eye art order, you’ll receive a digital proof in your inbox. This is often the "wow" moment for our customers. Seeing your eye magnified and artistically enhanced for the first time is a powerful experience. It’s like seeing a part of yourself in high-definition for the very first time.

Step 3: Perfection Through Collaboration

We believe that you should be 100% in love with your art. This is why a custom eye art order at Iris Blink comes with unlimited free revisions.

• Too bright? We can soften it.

• Want more drama? We can deepen the shadows.

• Merging eyes? If you’ve ordered a Duo or Family piece, we work with you to ensure the "collision" of the irises feels balanced and harmonious.

We don't send your order to the printer until you give us the final "thumbs up." This collaborative spirit is what makes every custom eye art order so special.

Step 4: From Digital Soul to Physical Masterpiece

After you approve your proof, we move into the final phase of your custom eye art order: the printing. We treat this stage with museum-level respect.

Choosing Your Finish

During the ordering process, you’ll choose the "skin" for your art.

• The Canvas: For a soft, traditional, and textured feel.

• The Metal: For a sleek, modern, and ultra-vibrant look.

• The Acrylic: For a luxury, 3D glass-like depth.

Each material is chosen for its durability and its ability to hold the vibrant, archival inks we use. Your custom eye art order is built to be a permanent part of your home’s story.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ordering

Can I change my mind about the size after I order?

If you haven't approved your final proof yet, we can usually adjust the size or material for you! We want your custom eye art order to fit your space perfectly.

What if I'm ordering this as a gift?

That is a wonderful idea! You can start a custom eye art order using a photo of a loved one's eye, or you can purchase a gift card so they can enjoy the process of taking the photo and choosing their style themselves.

How long does the whole process take?

From the moment you start your custom eye art order to the moment it arrives at your door, it usually takes about 7 to 14 days. The digital proofing is fast (24 hours), and the rest is dedicated to high-quality printing and careful shipping.
