"I actually cried. It looks exactly like her."
You know they are not "just a dog." Neither was Lola.
Like you, Lucy looked at her rescue dog and saw family, not a pet. So she began drawing Lola: the markings, the expression, the look only she had. Andy turned those drawings into embroidery. Months later, CNN came calling. We still make every portrait to order in our Cambridge studio, like it is the only one that matters, because to you, it is.
Every whisker, every marking, the look that is only theirs
We capture the tiny details that make them them, then bring them to life in the finest thread, in our Cambridge studio.
