How is the embroidery done?
Our pieces are all handcrafted, we do not use embroidery machines at all as we believe in bringing the art of embroidering organically. The fabric we use is 100% linen or cotton and in some cases, there is a mix of 80% linen and 20% cotton.
How the scrapbooking is done?
We use a variety of archival papers, size 12x12 for the background. We also print on vellum paper for transparencies accents. We can add a mini accordion album to the pages, we scan your pictures and send the originals back to you. You tell us what you might like in terms of layouts or any ideas you might have and we will work together to design something suitable to your expectations. The possibilities are endless, we require your email address so we can communicate effectively and a mock of the work is sent to you electronically for you to review before proceeding to ship your order.
