    International shipping prices do not include the landed costs (additional duties, taxes and fees that that are imposed for shipments crossing international borders by the importing country's government), and are the responsibility of the buyer.

  • Yes, I do. Shipping rates vary depending on location, and all shipping and insurance costs are covered by the buyer.

  • My pieces are happiest displayed out of direct sunlight, away from moisture, and framed (a shadowbox is recommended), but are also mounted to be hung as is.

  • Recently, I've decided to start accepting commission work. As of now, my commissions open when time allows, and slots are extremely limited. If you are interested in a commissioned piece, please feel free to check the slot availability in the "General Information" section of this form before submitting a request.

Artist FAQ

  • Yes and no. Each of my thread painting embroideries are one-of-a-kind and some involve many layers of different techniques, and for that reason, in addition to wanting to maintain their originality, I don't offer patterns of my more detailed work.

    However, I do offer digital PDF patterns for anyone looking to try a simpler project here in my Shop.

  • TBD.

  • Yes! I've made several instructional videos which can be viewed on my YouTube channel.

  • I work with DMC 6-strand embroidery floss.

    Check out my Embroidery Essentials for a list of all my go-to products.

  • The number of strands I use is determined by several factors: the area I'm working on, the fabric I'm using, and the amount of detail I'm trying to incorporate. After practicing a lot and figuring out the desired look I want to achieve, I have found what works best for me. My advice is to just keep practicing to find what works best for you!
