The icon pieces have the most diverse range of subject matter, Hamsas, Lions, bees, skulls and many others. They all start in the same manner, with the creation of the canvas. The canvas is created using up-cycled luxury boxes and shopping bags that are embroidered, collaged and combined to create a unique background. The backgrounds are designed to compliment each icon. The icons themselves are created using a multitude of techniques. Embroidery, appliqué and yarn embroidery are just of a few of the techniques used to complete the icons. Once finished, the icons are mounted in relief. For certain icons more embellishments are added like embroidered butterflies.

How to order a custom gypsy artwork
Once you place your order a member of the studio team will reach out help you select your background color and your gypsy color. Each piece is custom created for you.
Delivery time for a custom Gypsy piece is 4 weeks.
All of the gypsy pieces have a few things in common, whether it is a 5”x5” petite or a 56”x56” Horse, they are all created using collage and assemblage. There are multiple types of elements in each piece, the main element is the Gypsy Flowers. Everything we create in the studio is based on the principal of up-cycling and making sure that nothing goes to waste. Whenever we use a luxury scarf for a larger project, all of the remnants are saved and are turned into the Gypsy Flowers or Pom-Pom’s. The flowers are created in dozens of sizes and shapes. We also create embroidered flowers, lace flowers, patches and of course butterflies. The largest component of a gypsy piece is about 6”x6” and the smallest is less than 1/2”. Once the pieces are embroidered or trimmed they are sorted by color. I start with a silhouette of the design I am creating and then slowly build the layers of flowers and elements, mixing all of these styles and colors together to form something completely new. I love how all of the patterns, colors and textures swirl together. The closer you get to one of the pieces the more detail you will notice. Each gypsy style piece is completely unique.
THE GYPSY SERIES
SELECTING MATERIAL
Material is carefully picked for each Gypsy design. Whether blue, pink, or neutral tones, each piece consists of up-cycled material that is deconstructed to create the finished piece.
EMBROIDERY
Through meticulous embroidery, florals, butterflies, and captivating elements emerge. These embroidered elements, first hand-digitized, infuse each Gypsy piece with detail.
EMBELLISHING
Every embroidered element is carefully added and embellished to its piece. This timely process creates mesmerizing depth and uniqueness for each and every design. No two Gypsy pieces will ever be the same.
Every ‘Gypsy’ piece has a few things in common. Whether it is a 5” x 5” petite, 26" x 26" boot, or a 56” x 56” horse, every piece is created using the same technique of collage and assemblage. There are multiple types of elements within each style, the main element being the gypsy flowers. Everything we create in the studio is based on the principal of up-cycling and making sure that nothing goes to waste.
