If you've been following my blog for at least a few months, you most likely know that one of my favorite parts about running my randomcreative business is custom orders. I love so many of the suggestions that I get from customers and enjoy sharing them here.
One of my recent custom orders was for my long time Etsy friend and teammate Linda.
Linda wanted a custom button charm bracelet with the charms of her choosing. She ordered the charms that she wanted and sent them to me.
I put together a custom color palette with plastic buttons and glass seed beads to coordinate with her charms. I kept most of the pink palette lighter with a few darker / magenta picks in the mix.
I don't work with pink nearly as much as most other colors so this was a good push for me to explore this color combination. And of course the best news is that Linda loves her new piece.
I also recently got a request to re-make a design that I last sold nearly two years ago. It's one of those designs that I couldn't re-make at the time and kind of forgot about until now.
It was so refreshing working with this color palette in February. While I had this bead mix in my beading bowl, I went ahead and made a second one so I can add it to my shop again.
One of the most interesting things about posting these final pictures elsewhere this week is that I got as many comments about the photography job as I did about the piece itself. Honestly I'm not sure which I'm more proud of at this point.
If you ever want a custom order, don't hesitate to contact me!
Have you been working on any custom orders lately?
The pink bracelet is fantastic! Breast cancer runs in my family, so I'm always glad to see things promoting breast cancer awareness!

How fun to work in this color scheme this time of year! Our house, now that I've been working on redoing it in shades of grey, black and white is so gloomy, you remind me that working on something crafty in a burst of color would be helpful! I too agree: the product shots are amazing! Simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteBoth of the bracelets are wonderful! Love the color palettes. =0)

ReplyDeleteBoth came out great - pink is IN this year. You're right on top of it.
ReplyDeleteThe pink bracelet turned out beautiful! Your photography is pretty great too! The other one reminds me of a team south of us that Cynthia happens to be an alum of. :)

ReplyDeleteI like the design of the second bracelet. I hope you explore that one in more color combinations.
I like what you did with Linda's charms. I'll bet it was tricky trying to blend the pinks.
