Made to order cross stitch portraits make the perfect gift for any occasion. I believe everyone should have at least one of these cute portraits in their home. Every stitch that I make is unique, and I enjoy capturing personalities with my creativity. To order a portrait, I request a clear picture of everyone that needs to be included in the portrait. Sometimes it is hard to capture specific details from pictures, so I also request some additional information. What is needed: What each individual generally wear day to day (or what you would like them to wear if different from picture provided), and any other information you would like me to know while designing your portrait. If it is hard to tell the color of hair from images, please specify. (i.e. in a picture, hair may look black, but in reality it is really dark brown) When I design your stitch, I will send you an image of the pattern to have you approve of the look, or advise of any changes you'd like before I start stitching. The time it takes me to get a proof to you will depend on the turn around time you have selected. For the average stitch, I will have a proof ready within 2 weeks. If I do not have a proof to you within 2 weeks, do not fret. Depending on the amount of orders I have at a time, it may take me longer to get you your proof, but I will always ensure it is shipped by the ship date provided. Portraits come cut to size, mounted on a board and ready to frame. A frame is not provided, but is available for an additional cost. Message me to learn more. The size of the finished stitch will differ depending on how many characters are in the portrait. A majority of my stitches are 5x7. For extra large stitches they may be 8x10. If you are needing a specific size, advise me when ordering and I will let you know of it is possible. My basic turn around time is 6-8 weeks. I do offer expediting options. The pricing information is listed in the drop down menu. I definitely look forward to working with you! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I generally reply to messages within an hour or so.
