Meet the Maker
I have been a custom picture framer for almost 40 years and have a BFA in Fine and Applied Art/Painting. I have been creative since I was old enough to hold a crayon! My custom house, people and pet portraits are HAND DRAWN in pencil and micron pen on Crescent Art Boards and colored with Alcohol markers and Prismacolor colored pencils. Truly a unique gift for someone special in your life.
I started making my own "Amazing Leather Sewing Thimbles" over 20 years ago when I came across another leather thimble while “sew mounting” a hockey jersey at work. I decided I could make a more comfortable, durable thimble. I believe I have achieved that goal. Over the years I have sold thousands of thimbles across the country and worldwide to many satisfied returning customers. Each thimble is handmade by me, to your specifications, carefully hand sewn ironically using my own leather thimble. My new Double H/W Thimbles are truly the best! I guarantee you will fall in love with these and even forget that you are wearing them!
Happy shopping, Nancy
How it’s Made
Drawings are done on heavy fine art paper (Bristol board vellum) using Alcohol Markers, Micron Pens and Prismacolor and/or Polychromos Colored Pencils. I begin with a pencil sketch created from your photos as reference (so any changes or extra details should be requested) Next, I do a background layer (underpainting) of alcohol markers, then complete the details and final layer with colored pencils.
The finished drawing is matted (Optional) and protected in an archival sleeve, ready to frame.
Shop Policies
EXCHANGES ARE ENCOURAGED AND RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH YOUR THIMBLE or IF THE SIZING IS INCORRECT within 7 days of receipt. All I ask is that you return the thimble in excellent condition (not used or damaged) I can create a return shipment label to go with your replacement thimble(s) and you can ship the wrong thimbles back to me in the same envelope.
