I normally get to meet my customers and talk face to face with them about what they want from their jewellery. This way I get know them as a person as well as what they are asking for.
At the beginning of the year I posted an item in my Folksy shop titled 'Commission Work'.
Within a couple of days of listing I recieved and email asking if I could help a couple with their wedding accessories. "Of course", I said.
This was the first commission I'd done over email instead of face to face meetings so I was a little scared about getting started incase I had the wrong idea of what the couple wanted.
On my to do list was:
A wrist corsage for the bride
Button holes for both the female & male wedding party
A table decoration
Hair clip
Necklace & earring set
The couple liked both my organza work and felt work and asked if I could incorporate the two.
I started off by creating a few sample pieces, taking photos and sending them across for them to look at. Once we all agreed on the right style I set off to work.
Here's what I came up with...
Wrist Corsage
Close up of table decoration...
The couple sent me LED's and other computer components for me to include in all the pieces.

Button Holes
I had a fab time creating these pieces. I love a good challenge.
If you are interested in me creating a special piece for you feel free to get in touch.
