{"product_id":"custom-photorealistic-blackwork-pattern","title":"Custom Photorealistic Blackwork Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is no other service in the world that does this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotorealistic cross stitch conversion is a known service. Photorealistic \u003cbr\u003eblackwork conversion is not. The technique required to translate tonal \u003cbr\u003ephotographic detail into the counted geometric language of blackwork did not \u003cbr\u003eexist as a commercial service before Urban Stitches made it exist. If you want \u003cbr\u003ea photograph converted into a blackwork embroidery pattern, this is the only \u003cbr\u003eplace to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend the Guild a photograph. Receive a blackwork pattern that exists for you \u003cbr\u003eand no one else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get: a custom blackwork embroidery pattern built from your image using \u003cbr\u003ea process developed specifically by Urban Stitches. The pattern is yours alone. \u003cbr\u003eIt will not appear in the shop. It cannot be purchased by anyone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process: purchase here, then send your photograph by email. Mistress Stitches \u003cbr\u003eedits and prepares your image using Photoshop, then runs it through the Guild's \u003cbr\u003ecustom conversion software. A proof is sent to you within 14 days. You can \u003cbr\u003erequest amendments at proof stage. Once you are happy, the final pattern is \u003cbr\u003edelivered as a digital PDF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cost: £50. This reflects five hours of skilled work per pattern. It is \u003cbr\u003ebespoke work made specifically for you, and it is priced accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes a good photograph: the process reads tonal differences within your \u003cbr\u003eimage. Clear contrast between light and shadow on your main subject produces \u003cbr\u003ethe best results. Portraits, pets, and single subjects with good lighting all \u003cbr\u003econvert well. Very dark subjects against dark backgrounds, or images full of \u003cbr\u003efine repeating detail, are more challenging. If you are unsure whether your \u003cbr\u003ephotograph will work, contact the Guild before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not an immediate download. The finished pattern will be delivered to \u003cbr\u003eyou by email once complete.
