The Unfocussed Emporium
The characters have escaped the artwork and claimed the good shelves. Find them on wall art, decor, puzzles, mugs, apparel and gifts built for people whose homes deserve a better plot.

Choose your next plot twist

Downloadable cross-stitch and diamond-art designs built from Unfocussed imagery, with clear specifications and immediate digital delivery.
