AN EMBROIDERED GUITAR?
"Let's give it a shot," is what I recall saying in a meeting with my team. My thought was "what took me so long?" I’ve been a guitar player for over 40 years and an embroidery designer for 30. While working on a new album show I decided the walls could use something new and the guitar series was born. I started by taking photographs of real guitars, owned either by myself or my team. Once the photographs were taken, I designed the embroidery directly from the photographs so the designs would be super realistic. They were then fully stitched and mounted in relief over a variety of backgrounds. The detail in each Guitar is stunning; with over 500,000 embroidery stitches in each one. You can customize the guitars in any color and on any type of background. The possibilities are unlimited.

The backgrounds
You can truly customize your background. The Guitars come in two sizes: 12”x26” and 26”x40”.
The backgrounds are created using collage with either luxury packaging or with up-cycled album covers. You can choose your favorite brand, artist or genre of music.
The pieces are cut into strips, collaged and embroidered into a dynamic background.
The Guitars
There are both electric and acoustic guitars in this series. The electric guitars can be created in any color combination and the acoustics can be created using appliqué silk, leather or gypsy style.
