Custom portrait brooch, embroidered portrait brooch, custom portrait face pin, custom embroidery portrait artwork by polykatoikia This is a custom portrait brooch. All work is hand embroidered using a minimalist personal style with black and white thread on organic and unbleached cotton. How To Order : After purchasing the item I’ll get back to you very soon. I will need 2 or 3 clear pictures.Please make sure that I can see their eyes and other facial features, if you have photos taken from eye level it will be so great! Once everything is clear I’ll be start to study the pictures and make some sketches for you to show you the composition.I will emphasize on the expression of the face and for that I use only black and white thread. You’ll receive the hand-drawings via Etsy Conversation. You’ll have the opportunity to request any small corrections for the specific sketch. Once you have approved the final sketch I’ll start the final part the embroidery step. Size : The embroidery portrait brooch measures 1.96” x 1.18” (5cm x 3cm). a brooch is attached at the back. Shipping : About 2-4 weeks after the photos were sent to the mail and all the required information it’s settled. Please confirm turnaround time before purchasing. Please note that International shipping is not guaranteed to arrive within this time frame and can sometimes be unpredictable. Quality : The embroidery is hand stitched on a double organic and unbleahed cotton. I use the finest black and white cotton threads. If you want me to work on a new sketch from the start based on a new photo you’ll send me after the final sketches are complete, this will cause an additional cost. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION : Embroidery is a slow process and it needs it’s time, especially for this work as you can see how detailed,delicate and small it is,so please have patience. If you have photos taken from eye level it will be great because it helps me to read the face and the shape more clearly. If you don’t have any photos following the sample pictures, that’s ok! take a moment to take a selfie! I specialize in custom embroidery portraits inspired by your photos. Find a photo that captures the essence of the person that you’d like me to stitch. Every portrait I make is unique due to it’s handmade nature (and one of a kind gift to celebrate weddings, engagements, anniversaries, Birthdays, Valentines Day and other special days.) I will embroider the portrait of the person / couple / family you’re buying this for in the style shown in the example. Please note that this portrait is an artistic expression and will not be a literal and exact portrait.
