5. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO COMPLETE AN EMBROIDERY PICTURE?

It depends on the size of the picture. It takes 200 to 400 hours approximately for a regular picture or from 7 to 60 hours for my tutorials.

Yes, you can. Visit COMMISSIONS

7. DO YOU EMBROIDER PEOPLE, PORTREITS, ANIMALS?

No, I don’t. I embroider only landscapes and some types of buildings. However, I don’t embroider a building only without a landscape.

8. HOW DO YOU SHIP IN THE USA?

I ship my pictures with the full declared value only. Delivery is free to all states. I use the USPS Priority Mail to ship pictures under $5,000. Pictures over $5,000 I ship with UPS or the USPS Registered Mail if UPS is unavailable for any reason (I’ll let you know if I have to change from UPS to the USPS Registered Mail). If you want to use another shipping service, you can reach out to me and we can discuss it for an additional charge.

9. DO YOU SHIP WORLDWIDE?

Different countries impose different rules on the import of art objects. I have some experience of shipping my pictures to other countries but every case is unique. Please reach out to me and we can discuss the possibility of delivery to your country.

10. DO YOU COLLABORATE WITH BRANDS AND COMPANIES?

Yes, I’m happy to collaborate if your products are related to hand/machine embroidery and handmade (for instance: threads, canvas for artists, scissors, needles, stands for phones, etc.)
