Sometimes, custom orders are my favorite orders. I love working interactively with customers and it sometimes gives me new spins and new directions!
Here is a gallery of some of the custom orders I have been working on this month!
A gorgeous brass filigree charm bracelet. The customer's buttons were wrapped in brass filigree:
A couple bead woven bracelets:
One of my customers drew upon my love for millinery. She requested these pieces with her buttons:
And then I just finished up a ring that a gentleman wanted for his wife for Christmas. He sent me the button not knowing if it would really work or not. The button was pretty dirty with age, so I spent an afternoon restoring it (except the original tint...I felt there was enough of that left on the button that to mess with it would depreciate the value). It just went out in the mail today:
I am still busy finishing up a few more orders. I am creating a custom 14 foot (yes, I said 14 foot!) garland for a customer similar to this one:
I also have three bookmarks and a bunch of tatted tree ornaments.

So, if you have been wondering exactly where I ran off to, just look in my studio! Remember the mess I showed you a few posts back? Now you know why!
