⚙️ Creation Process:

1. Photo Submission: Pro tip: Side-profile images with strong lighting yield best dotting contrast.                                                                                                                                  2. Artisan Translation: Artist converts photo into dot density map (darker areas = denser dots).                                                                                                                        3. Hand-Pointing: 50-70 hours of meticulous hammer-and-chisel work under magnification.                                                                                                                        4. Finishing & Shipping: Sealed with matte stone wax → shipped in custom shockproof crate with GPS tracking.
