Once I decide on the concept, I digitize the design for each box by hand. Each stitch and section of thread is drawn by hand, one stitch at a time to create the unique piece of art for that box. Once the digitizing is finished, all of the embroidery is stitched directly through the box. Each box is carefully flattened and placed on the machine for embroidery. Some of the boxes have more than 100,000 stitches on them. For some pieces, only stitching and appliqué are applied, and the piece is essentially finished. For others, I add embellishments.
