How do you do that???
Yes, it really is all hand stitched! I create a pattern and "needlepaint", a fancy way to say blend the subtle different colors of stitches together, and then stitch those needlepainted sections of the pattern together for a posable sculpture! I choose the background or base for each sculpture adding embroidered moss, leaves or even fungus to complete an authentic woodland scene. It takes many hours to create one mushroom or flower and then many more to stitch the supporting pieces. The backgrounds or bases are then made to compliment and present each piece in a unique, one of a kind way.

CUSTOM ORDER QUESTIONS
How long will a custom order take? Roughly 2 months from the time we discuss what you would like and have a final drawing of what it would look like and initial deposit.
How much will a custom work of art cost? As a custom design the cost will vary and we will have a better idea as to cost once we settle on the different components of your unique fiber sculpture.
What is the process to begin a custom fiber art sculpture? Contact me and we will discuss ideas and needs you may have, I will put together a design and estimated cost. After I receive a deposit I can begin creating your unique piece of art! This may take a couple months in which you will get emailed updates on the progress. If you would like to send me a piece of wood from your property to install the embroidery to or have me come and choose one that is an option also. Once the design is complete you can stop in to pick it up or I can ship it to you ready to install on your table, desk, mantle or wall.
How do I start the process for a custom sonogram? Email me your request with a clear photo of the sonogram and give me a call to get the details all determined, time of completion, whether you want matted or framed, shipped or pick up and total cost. There are no returns for sonograms.
How do I start the process for a custom aerial landscape? Email me your request with the exact address and if possible a satellite aerial view of the landscape you would like embroidered. Give me a call to determine details, time of completion, whether you want matted or framed, shipped or pick up and total cost. There are no returns on Aerial Landscapes.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
What materials do you use to make it 3D? I’ve created patterns that I wire and embroider and then join together into a
3D shape, using felt, mesh, organza and supporting materials to allow it to be positioned in the grouping envisioned.
How do you ship? USPS
May I pick up my art and see the studio? Yes, by appointment!
Do you have a return policy? No returns, all sales final.
How do I care for my art piece? For sculpture installations, canned air if it gets dusty, a very light rolling of a lint roller would also remove dust. The jewelry is treated with a special protection from stains and dirt.
