If you are searching for a unique gift for a special friend, who loves to read, look no further. Tina Strauss, one of KRFTR’s talented artists, is the person to see. Tina hand paints book marks, and, in my case, it was a collection of birds, ranging from cranes to owlets. One is as pretty as the next, and I would love to keep them all. Treat your friends and yourself to these mini works of art. You won’t be disappointed. They are beautiful in design, detail, and color. Plus, they were the easiest gifts I have ever shopped for. From the initial contact to shipping, it was glitch free and fast. Oh, and BTW, did I mention cost? Tina keeps it totally affordable for such a little treasure!

Tina is wonderful! She's so patient and really helped me envision and create the perfect gift!

My brother just had his first grandson so I wanted to send the new parents something special. Tina crocheted an adorable puppy using the colors of the baby's room. She also put the baby's name on the little collar! I was very happy with it and I know that they were too!! Tina never lets me down!!!!!

Once again, Tina has amazed me with her talent! She painted a Bernese Mountain dog on a bookmark for me to give to a friend. She has a Bernese and is an avid reader so she absolutely loved it! It is so nice to be able to customize gifts for friends.

Ordered a butterfly bookmark as a gift for a friend's girlfriend. He saw it and he was very very pleased. Tina is great to work with as always!

From Dean: I received my bookmarks. So cute... can't wait to give them to friends for their March birthdays.

Tina, did an amazing piece for me. I asked her to do a painting of my two pets, but also to incorporate my previous pets who are no longer with us in the painting. I gave her the ideas for the symbols and it came out exactly like I had envisioned!! The colors and details were fabulous and she was amazing to work with!! I will definitely work with her again I think of another project. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!! Thanks again Tina Joanne H

Letting you know I received the lovely wood bookmarkers. Very sweet and delicate. Will make lovely gifts. Have a couple of people like me, who prefer to read a book, not a tablet. Their birthdays are coming next month. I am thinking these little bookies will hit the spot! Thank you!

I asked Tina to paint bookmarks for my bookclub. In honor of the first book we read together, "Where The Crawdads Sing", I asked her to paint the different birds and shells of the marsh. She painted ten book marks for me and they are all unique. They came out better than I ever imagined and I am so happy with them. They belong in a fame and not in a book! I cannot wait to give them to the ladies in the book club because I know they will love them. Thank you Tina!!!

It's always a pleasure to work with Tina. We ordered a painting, took that image, and then created a digital file. With that file I ordered custom wedding thank yous. The bride-to-be loved them and the oak tree painting. Tina was super helpful in getting us the order in time, which was very much appreciated!

Tina was an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't recommend her enough. She was patient and is so amazingly talented. She was happy to accommodate modifications and genuinely wanted it to be fully custom. We love our work of art!

I purchased 3 images and everyone loved them.

Tina was an excellent artist to work with. We wanted to commission a custom painting on canvas, 16 x 20, as a special gift. Tina was very engaging, asking questions and offering options which were extremely helpful as we matured from idea toward reality. Her recommendations for color, shading and thematics were excellent. We worked through draft sketches and added some unique qualities. The finished product was vivid, very high quality and exceeded our expectations. The color palette was superior and gradients were well accomplished. This gift is a surprise to be given at a later date and after that we will post the end result. Tina was wonderful to work with, the product was well priced and we hope to use her again in future work.

It came out beautiful! I can't wait to give it as a Christmas gift.
