An original piece of art created especially for you makes a very special addition to your home or a unique present for someone you care about. Marilyn can work with you to create a tapestry that is designed specifically for you and the space it will be hung.  

 

The process starts with a discussion between yourself and Marilyn, where you will agree together the vision for the piece.  Marilyn will then create a sketch to ensure the tapestry will look exactly how you envision it. 

 

Once the design is perfected, Marilyn will create your unique artwork.  The timeframe and cost of this process will depend on the complexity and size of the work, but Marilyn can work with you to find a design that fits in your budget.
