Commissions

Capture your most precious moments in a custom artwork, creating a one-of-a-kind heirloom to treasure forever.

I work with you to translate your special memories and family photos into a stylised line drawing, which will then be hand-stitched on quilted linen. I can include names, dates, or bits of text, areas of colour and I’ve even stained the linen with the recipient’s specific favourite earl grey tea.

A custom art-piece makes a wonderful and sentimental present for new parents and for grandparents, or for a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift. Clients have commissioned works for Valentine’s Day, and for special birthdays or celebrations - including for cotton and linen wedding anniversaries.

Or, you could just treat yourself!

All artworks are hand embroidered by me in London.  To commision a piece please contact me using the form below. I can work from almost any photograph, but my favourites are unposed snaps, particularly of partners embracing or parents’ sleepy cuddles with their babies. I am happy to advise on photos if you are unsure. 

Details

My standard commision is approximately 30x30cm or just over A4 (depending on proportions of the image), My work has unhemmed and frayed edges so the measurements are not precise.  I normally work on quilted natural or tea-stained linen (two layers of linen with wadding in between). The cost for this is £200 + postage.

I can also offer framing in a deep box frame from £50, with options for either black, white or oak veneer frames).
I have also stretched work over circular wooden supports, which can then be hung directly on the wall without framing. This can be done for £25.

If you would like a larger piece, or would like to incorporate painting, please contact me for a quote.

Hand stitching is a slow process so please expect at least 4 weeks before your work is posted. If you are working on a tighter deadline, drop me a message and I will let you know whether I can meet it.
