Tapestry Weaver

Work With Me – Custom Tapestry Artwork

It brings me a lot of joy to create custom tapestry artwork for others. I see my weaving practice as a medium for translating my own heartfelt connections and experiences, and I would love to do that for you too! 

I typically weave smaller custom tapestry artwork however enquiries for larger pieces are always welcome

Please use the enquiry form to find out more and request a quote.

So what can you expect when working with me?

I thought I’d step through the whole process so you know just what you get when you commission me to weave a custom tapestry artwork.

Idea

Let’s discuss your idea and what you are wanting for your tapestry.

Use the contact form or email [email protected] to get the ball rolling.

Not quite sure what you’re after? You can check out my portfolio pages for inspiration or view past commissions. I’ve woven abstract wall hangings, to portraits, to landscapes that hold special meaning for my clients.

Collaboration

Most of my clients come to me with a picture or scene they already have in mind for their tapestry. And we’ll collaborate on what will work best for the design. Because I often reference several images of the same subject while I weave, there’s probably a good chance I’ll ask you to do one of the following:

  • Email me several images of the scene or inspiration for your tapestry.
  • Create a Pinterest ‘mood board’ to help inform the design. Don’t forget to invite me (@leeleibrandtart) to view the board!

Sketch

After we’ve discussed what you’re after and we have some images to work with, I’ll make a sketch (a ‘cartoon’) of your tapestry. This will guide me while I weave.

I’ll also pull together a colour palette for you.

I’ll ask you to confirm we are good to go before I start on the weaving.

Weaving and progress updates

I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way with progress photos. That way if you’re not completely satisfied with something, we can change it on the go!

progress update of a custom tapestry artwork

Expect to hear from me 2-3 times throughout the weaving process. Depending on our means of communication up to this point, you’ll receive messages by:

  • Email
  • Facebook messenger, or
  • Instagram direct message.

Your new tapestry!

The most exciting part – your new custom tapestry artwork!

I’ll send you a final update photo and make sure you’re happy with the piece before it comes off the loom. If you’re not completely satisfied, this is when any last minute changes need to happen.

Then it’s time to cut those warp ends, sew in all the loose threads, frame it up (optional) and deliver it to your door!

And if you’re on social media, I’d love it if you shared your new tapestry!

    When I asked Lee to commission a piece for me detailing my favourite view of my island home in New Zealand, I was not disappointed. From the very beginning, Lee was responsive and provided excellent customer service. She took such care in selecting the colour palette, I really felt that she was honouring my childhood memories and treating them with love, care and respect – it meant a lot to me. She kept me informed of her progress every step of the way and gave me choices about how the final piece would look and feel. When it came to framing the piece, little extra touches such as using wood from Tasmania because she knew I used to live there, was really touching. All of these personal gestures added up to the most valuable sentimental piece that I absolutely adore. The piece itself is professionally executed with such precision, featuring a melody of colours and textures that stand out and complement each other all at the same time. Pricing is fair, reflecting the time and effort that goes in to the final piece. I would highly recommend Lee if you have a treasured memory you want depicted in to something tangible, or just want a high quality, unique, eclectic, and naturalistic memento.
  • Catherine, USACatherine, USAVegan Commission

    I decided to treat myself and buy some art for my wall and came across some photos of amazing woven art by Lee Leibrandt. After stalking her online for awhile (nothing but love and admiration 🥰) and signing up for her newsletter, I knew for certain that a piece from her was what I wanted for my wall. It sounds like a huge commitment on my part but in reality the price is absolutely reasonable for a lovely handmade piece made just for me. Lee was so sweet to work with and included me, as much as I wanted to be included, in the decisions. My main requirement was that the fibers be all vegan, and she did it! I have to shout out to her father who does the amazing woodwork and frame. It all came together beautifully, so beautifully that based on the progress pictures I also asked Lee for a handwoven basket to hang on my wall. Thank you Lee, for these amazing pieces of art, for sharing your talent, for being inspired by my IG page and likes. Nothing but LOVE!

  • Bec, AUSTRALIABec, AUSTRALIAA Memory Honoured

    "Working with Lee was an absolute pleasure and I can’t recommend her highly enough. The piece I commissioned held a lot of emotional significance for me. Lee managed the process with professionalism, empathy and care, which filled me with confidence in her and her work. I loved receiving updates along the way and felt the excitement and momentum building right through until I received my tapestry. I am so blown away with the end result; a divine artwork, which I will treasure forever. Thank you, Lee."

  • Dianne, AUSTRALIADianne, AUSTRALIAGolden Bar Purchase

    "This is beautiful work. Made with beautiful hand spun yarns, it has pride of place in our family room where we can appreciate it everyday!"

  • Julie, AUSTRALIAJulie, AUSTRALIAA Wintery Commission

    "I feel honoured to have a piece in my home by this talented artist! I was after a specific theme - Scandinavian Winter - Lee created a tapestry that was beyond what I had expected! Truly an artist worth supporting!!"

  • Kara, UKKara, UKCustom Order for a Wedding Gift

    "The custom tapestry is perfect and a beautiful interpretation of the original landscape photo that I gave to Lee. It was very well received as a wedding gift by my friend who really loved it. Lee is a very talented and creative artist producing very special and unique pieces of work."
