Thanks so much Sarina, My brother received his faux vulture head yesterday and deemed it "magnificently horrible." He's considering ousting his young daughter from her nursery in order to have a proper Vulture Room. I haven't seen it yet, since we live in different states, but I'm going to ask him to leave a comment on your site, since he's thrilled. I'll definitely be back, as Christmas is around the corner. And, actually, I might as well inquire now about a preserved heart under glass, since my father recently underwent open-heart surgery and he might appreciate a spare. Meanwhile, I'll start a savings fund for a North Woods Chimera.
Thanks again,
John Laskas

Sarina -
Received my two-headed chick and the mystery hand today. I am completely thrilled, and the work is spectacular. It makes a perfect addition to my collection. Also, the packaging was perfect...arrived without a scratch. Of course, my two year-old son is completely fascinated, staring at it and gleefully shouting "Peep Peep!" whenever he sees it. A small part of me is sure that he will eventually break the glass dome, so don't be surprised if I have to order another in time. My parents are always complaining that they never know what to get me for Xmas/birthdays, and now I will just refer them to your website. Looking forward to another order in the future.
Thanks a million -
Nick

Hi Sarina! I just got my Pickled Pets! They came super fast! They look amazing. The bat is precious and the squirrel heads are rather disturbing. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much. You are super sweet! You will DEFINITELY get more requests from me in the future. Thanks again. You're the best.

Dear Sarina,
Your marvelous piece arrived on Saturday in perfect condition. It is extraordinary. I was prepared for this, having seen the photos of this and your other work......My wife and I both agree that it looks like exactly what it is supposed to be: the mummified remains of an extinct species that is the basis for the mermaid legend. It has the death contracture in the arms, and the grimace. It also looks old enough to have been Barnum's. If you are ever in contact with anyone who wants to hear from one of your satisfied customers before committing to a piece, feel free to refer them to me.
Yours,
Paul Szauter

Miss Sarina,
Thank you for an extraordinary creature. I am more than pleased, I am transfixed. What you have created is a curtain which hangs between two worlds and which grants entree into both.

Dear Sarina,
I recieved my 'Baby Hell-cat' for my 30 birthday, and I wanted to thank you. It was a fantastic gift to mark a milestone birthday. You did an outstanding job! The craftsmanship was impecable as was the service. It is now the centerpiece to the other works of art I've purchased from you. I'm already dreaming of another delightfully disturbing custom creature I want to have.
Kindest Regards,
Justin

Just wanted to say that Sarina's craftmanship & artistic prowess in addition to her customer service are second to none! Needing a heart prop for my magical telling of Poe's Tell-Tale Heart which appears in a previously shown empty box, a fake/rubber heart wasn't cutting the mustard. The Vampire Heart That I purchased from her is simply ...exquisite! And I loved getting her emails!

I think Sarina is a true trailblazer, and the quality of her work is top shelf. I am addicted and want to collect all of her creatures! Excellent work, service and follow up - a true gem! I hope to meet her some day...

We got the feejee yesterday and opened last night. George was just speechless. He just kept looking at it over and over. He said he will email when he knows how to describe his feelings. It is not in its permanent home yet but is sitting with some cool things we brought back from easter island so seems appropriate. And many thanks for the cool poster, cards and catalog. We are huge art lovers and collect all kinds of art from contemporary to folk to art brut to lo brow so it will great to explore the artists in the catalog.

hi there i am a huge fan of your work and own a piece that you made. the chicken skeleton and chick. my commercial partner "kin" got that and a number of pieces for a show that we are doing for national geographic. they are a huge hit.... so a good friend is about to have a baby and the two headed chick with dome would be the perfect addition to its room. trust me , the parents will really appreciate this. let me know what you need from me and i'll make it happen. give me a holler.
thanks,
