Its been an eventful week or so at Thisel & Bean. My first sale to a completely unknown person was swiftly followed by a custom order by someone else...who then also bought a second custom crown! It was all very exciting.
These were the two creations...
The first crown I made was for a little girl having her 1st birthday. The lady requested lavender with butterflies. Here's the first sketch and the colour options.
I wanted the butterflies to look like they'd landed on the crown for a moment so only attached them in the centre.
The second crown was for a little boy who was also celebrating his first birthday. I was told that his favourite things were giraffes and balls, so this was the first sketch and colours.
I think my sketches are a bit on the basic side, but they seemed to give the right idea. I have to say I really enjoyed the process of discussing the options with the customer and then creating something that felt quite special.
I'm looking forward to making more!
I really love both of these crowns! Such great colours and really gorgeous detail.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was pretty pleased with them. :-)

DeleteThose are such cool crowns!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your order. The crowns look lovely. I'm sure lots more orders will follow.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous, I was so excited when I had my first random person sale, I'm sure lots of people will soon want their own custom creations.
