Commission a piece

Here is how to commission a custom-designed, heirloom-quality hand-hooked item:

  • Decide whether you want a carpet, table runner, bed tapestry, seat cushion or throw cushion.
  • Obtain measurements.
  • Though much of the design will be up to the artist herself, make some preliminary decisions regarding motif, imagery, and color (use existing photos, artwork as inspiration if need be)
  • Decide if you want a family or cottage name incorporated into the piece and if the piece is to include the date (year)
  • Contact the artist via email or telephone to initiate your order
  • The artist will discuss your custom designed piece and either render a small sketch to be used as a loose guideline or employ other images to convey the direction she intends to take your piece.
  • Once a general idea for the design is understood, a non-refundable deposit of one third the total price in the form of money order or paypal is necessary to begin the piece.
  • A digital photo of the completed piece will be emailed to verify completion
  • The second third of your payment is now required and, once received
  • The piece will be shipped to you and insured via UPS ground
  • The remaining third of your payment, including shipping is due upon receipt
  • Or order an existing rug presented on the gallery page
