I just received the most incredible package in the mail, and I’m absolutely elated! You guys know I’m a huge admirer of truly dedicated artists, and the cross-stitch piece I commissioned is finally here. Honestly, pictures didn’t do it justice, but you can see a glimpse of its glory here.
The level of craftsmanship on this mothman knitting piece is simply breathtaking. The artist’s vision was clear from the start, and the execution is flawless. Seriously, look at the detail! A common challenge with cross-stitch can be tension—if it’s too loose or too tight, the whole image can look wonky, or the fabric can pucker. But this piece? The tension is perfect, giving the work a smooth, professional, and gallery-worthy finish. It’s a clear testament to the many, many hours of dedication she poured into every single stitch. You can tell she took loving care of it from start to finish.
Beyond the art itself, the entire experience was so incredibly smooth. Knot & Clay operates their business with such professionalism. I’m in Canada, and sometimes shipping internationally can be a bit of a headache, but the artist handled everything with such ease and competence. The packaging was secure, and it arrived in perfect condition, all thanks to her great effort in prepping it for the journey.
And the communication? Flawless! They kept me updated every step of the way, making the whole process of commissioning an original piece feel effortless and exciting. I truly want to send a massive thank you for her time, her incredible talent, and the fantastic customer service.

Now, for the cherry on top—the surprise extra gift!
She tucked in a lovely thank-you package that included a beautiful beaded key-chain with a vibrant geometric pattern, and some fun, festive Halloween-themed bracelets (hello, spooky season! 🎃).
Seriously, I was already so thrilled with the cross-stitch, but getting another piece of her gorgeous artwork—the key-chain—was just the sweetest gesture. I’m absolutely elated to have these little bonuses, and it just reinforces what an outstanding and thoughtful artist she is.
If you’re ever looking for a truly unique and high-quality piece of art, I can’t recommend her work enough. Now, I just have to figure out the perfect place to hang this stunning moth!
What do you guys think of the work? Have you ever commissioned a piece of art that totally exceeded your expectations?
