Field notes
The described workflow turns a selected image into a chart assigning a colour to each square, then carries the stitched textile through washing and framing. The site gives a two-week-to-six-month production range based on size and complexity. Commission categories include Junior Stitches, Botanical Gallery and Wind and Wave, with listed starting prices from KES 5,000 to KES 90,000.
