Commission a Custom Art Piece
Pet/ Animal Portrait Commissions
Celebrate your pets wonderful life with a one-of-a-kind art piece that captures their unique personality and appearance, whether your pet or animal friend has fur, fluff, feathers, spines, or scales I can replicate their image with thread. I offer two types of pet/animal portraits, full thread painted portraits and outline portraits.
Every portrait includes:
The pets name (if desired)
One pet within the portrait (if more than one pet is desired, please inquire with me via email at gotmeinstitchesxoart@gmail.com and we can discuss pricing and options)
The completed art piece will automatically come in an embroidery hoop unless otherwise discussed
Additional options can be added and those can be found on the Pricing Page.
Shipping is included in the commission piece; however I am not responsible for any customs or import fees when shipping internationally.
What I will need from you:
I will need good, quality photos of your pet or the animal friend in question, these photos will need to be clear and in good lighting. If you can see the textures and the fur direction then the photos will more than likely work, but please appreciate that I can only stitch what I can see, so if the photo is in unnatural lighting, high contrast, or dim lighting it may affect the true color of the animals coloring, so natural indirect lighting is the best choice. I will need at least one photo but the more the merrier so I can really understand the overall coloring and personality of your pet or animal friend.
I will also please ask for your patience, communication, and your timeline. These realistic pet/animal portraits can take anywhere from 80 to 100+ hours of work, because of this, my turn around time on a portrait is an 8 week minimum once I’ve accepted your commission request and the payment has been received, I will work as quickly as I can on the piece without sacrificing quality, if you have a timeline, please communicate with me and I will do my absolute best to make it happen.
The Commission Process:

Once I am available to work on your commission request, I will send you an email and let you know that you are next in line, at that time I will confirm your request details and ask for your non-refundable initial deposit of 50% of the total commission amount (this will be in the form of a custom listing in the shop section of my website), once I have received your initial deposit I will work on your mockup design.

I will send your mockup design idea back to you via email to approve, if approved I will ask for the remaining 50% of the total amount due, this will pay your commission inquiry in full and I will begin working on your custom art.

Do you have a favorite place in this wonderful world of ours? Is there something in mother nature that just makes you feel comfort and at peace? Perhaps it could be a favorite national park you visited when growing up or that feeling you would get when you were walking through the forest and saw a newt in the rocks in the trickling stream. Whatever inspires you in nature, let’s take your inspiration and create a custom piece of art to memorialize it in your home together! This could be anything from a snapshot of a wonderful mountain view, the burst of wildflowers coming to life in the spring, the textures and oddities of a tidepool you found when you were exploring as a kid, or even the moss and mushrooms on the forest floor.
Every portrait includes:
The completed art piece will automatically come in an embroidery hoop unless otherwise discussed
Additional options such as 3D elements and needle felting techniques can be added and those can be found on the Pricing Page.
Shipping is included in the commission piece; however, I am not responsible for any customs or import fees when shipping internationally.
What I will need from you:
If the piece is inspired by a photo, I will need to have a copy of that photo to use as a reference.
I will need to know what the subject matter of the piece is, as an example, if you are wanting mushrooms on the forest floor, it would be great if you can send me some images of mushrooms that inspire you, if you didn’t take the photos I can’t use them as our reference photos without the owner’s permission but I can use them to create my own design based off of their aesthetic for your commission piece.
I will also please ask for your patience, communication, and your timeline. These pieces can take anywhere from 80 to 100+ hours of work, because of this, my turn around time on a thread painting is an 8-week minimum once I’ve accepted your commission request and the payment has been made.

Landscape or Nature Inspired Embroidery
Did you grow up catching ALL the Pokémon? Could you watch your favorite cartoons and characters on TV for hours upon hours and never get sick of it? Do you have hundreds of hours invested into making your perfect town with your dream villagers in Animal Crossing? Could you play Stardew Valley year after year after year, even though you got a perfection statue on year one?! When you can’t have your eyes glued to your TV or console screen because you have to get some adulting in wouldn’t it be nice to have a physical piece of art that could still make you feel like you are in the game? Or that you are still enthralled in that episode or movie you were watching? I can take your favorite moments or characters from these games or shows and turn them into a nostalgic cozy embroidery piece for your home.

What I will need from you:
I will need to know what the subject matter of the piece is, as an example, if you are wanting a video game character in a scene, it would be great if you can tell me the name of the character, what game it is, and if possible send me some screen grabs from the game or give me some insight on the game and what you love so much about it so I can use them to create my own design based off of the described aesthetic for your commission piece.
