I recently finished a custom order for a couple of personalized hoops. The customer is…
It is always an exciting day for me when I get a custom order request!
I will receive a convo on Etsy or an e-mail from one of my lovely customers. She will send me a color swatch, a product photo or simply a list of colors. Or maybe an idea or design motif (a hot air balloon? a favorite song lyric?) that she wants to build a custom piece around.
From that simple exchange of information, I am off and running. Sketching ideas. Playing with color combinations. Snipping felt into shapes. Experimenting with a new design.
Last month, I had two such custom order requests that allowed me to frolic in felt, so to speak. Together we came up with some gorgeous color palettes.
For this custom wall art, a baby shower gift for a little girl Isla, she sent me a color swatch. I unearthed these colors from a custom piece I did a few years back. Soft pink corals and light peach on a background of cotton duck cloth. Based on this “hello” wall art in my shop, I created the flowers using the customer’s color choices and sent her a photo for her final okay.
Then I embroidered “isla” in a coordinating coral embroidery thread. Don’t you love that name?
And here is the finished piece. And here’s what my lovely customer had to say about it!
