What is my artistic process?
- Design Conception: I create the initial map design, focusing on accurate layout and the appropriate level of detail for the project.
- Transferring the Design: The finalized design is printed onto fabric using washable ink, allowing for easy removal post-embroidery.
- Selection of Stitches and Colors: I select stitches and colors that best enhance the map's geographical and thematic details.
- Embroidery Execution: The most exciting and time consuming step in the process is actually stitching!
- Finishing and Presentation: The finished piece is either framed or stretched into an embroidery hoop, tailored to suit the project.
How do I set prices?
- Prices are determined by size and stitch difficulty.
- Stitches have different levels of complexity - more complex stitches take more time and will cost more.
- Some stitches also take much more embroidery thread.
- More stitches generally cost more.
- If a piece is framed I add the cost of the frame to the final piece, frames are usually between $10-$30.
- Custom pieces will cost more.
Price Points
- 3-4 inch diameter pieces will generally be between $30-$50.
- 5-7 diameter inch pieces will generally be between $60-$90.
- 8x10 inch pieces will generally be between $100-$150.
Frame or Hoop?
- Most of the frame products can be sold framed or unframed. If you would like a different frame please fill out the contact form.
- If a piece is displayed in a hoop, it can not be changed to a frame. And the hoop cannot be changed (this incudes painting the hoop)
What if an item is out of stock?
I can always remake a design that is no longer in stock. Please note because these are handmade no two products will be exactly the same. If a product is out of stock it will take 2-4 weeks to make and ship to you.
How to should I take care of my piece?
- Hoops can be hung on the wall using just a nail.
- For cleaning, do not ever wet the piece, just dust lightly.
