The Process to Commission a Sculpture
When we decide what to include in your custom sculpture, I will create a mock up from paper and then a prototype with felt, actually stitching it together to be sure it will all fit correctly.
Once I'm satisfied I have the proportions and shape, I draw it out on felt or mesh. If needed I use wire to help it hold shape and be posable.I choose colors according to reference photos and begin stitching.
When the top and bottom of a fiber art mushroom is complete I join them together, sometimes adding a stem or ring depending on the mushroom. Based on our prototype I will create the subjects and install them on a base of embroidered moss, leaves or appropriate supporting materials in a presentation style that will best showcase them.
I study the subjects habitat and strive to replicate nature as accurately as possible when creating the sculpture.
Making a wildflower is a little different in that most of the time I'm only joining them at the stem. Each petal or leaf must be stitched very carefully so that all sides are viewable.
I can make your custom sculpture using your measurements and preferences to make a custom table top, mantle, fireplace, or wall statement.
I offer several choices to present the embroidered nature inspired subjects:
-- cloches
-- wood bases
-- branches
-- logs
-- hanging on walls
-- bowls
-- baskets
-- your own unique container
-- the sky is the limit!
In the end the piece will be one of a kind!
Email me and I can start the process of customizing your fiber art sculpture. I'll get you a mock up or sketch and we can tweak as needed.
It may take 2 months to complete the intensive task of drawing, stitching and and applying all the components onto the base of your custom sculpture.
I will go over more details once you reach out via email or phone.
