Custom Made Jewellery.

I have been getting a few requests for personalised jewellery. A friend of my friend asked if I could make their daughter a wire necklace, in the style of written script so that it spelt out her name. I was also asked if I could make someone a polymer clay coffin pendant, so I made two for choice so the person could pick between them. Both seemed to really like what I made them. I have had another request for a silver pendant with an amethyst to set off the piece, I feel honoured that they asked me to make something for them. When someone requests me to make them a piece of jewellery my initial thought is "oh crap" because it's you're responsibility to ensure its their vision comes to life and so you just hope you can capture what they want. I will show one of the custom designs the others I will put up when they are done. 

The person who asked for the silver pendants I'm more nervous of making something with silver than I am with polymer clay, mostly because silver is very expensive and do not want to waste silver by churning out piece after piece.  I tend to take my time when working with wire or silver because I don't want to waste silver by making a mistake so I ensure that it is made to the best of my ability. I tend to experiment more with polymer clay because the price is more affordable and it comes in big packs which is more affordable when I want to stock up. The coffins aren't quite finished. I need to glaze them and put them on a necklace chord. So I'm hoping the person will love them when they are finished. And I'm really hoping that my friend loves the silver pendant with amethyst gemstone. 

This was a rather short post but I hope you enjoyed it all the same. Keep it spooky children of the night.
