🎨 Original Art

Each Lordy Dordie artwork is lovingly created by hand, making every piece unique.

To care for your original artwork:

• Avoid contact with water

• Keep artwork out of direct sunlight to prevent fading

• Avoid hanging in humid areas such as bathrooms

• Handle artwork with clean, dry hands

• Frame behind glass where possible for protection

With proper care, your artwork will remain vibrant and beautiful for many years to come.
