Custom Orders

Starting a business is not an easy task but it's not without rewards too.  The ability to create as you please and get compensated for your creations is extraordinary.  I'm not just talking about compensation in monetary terms either.  The feeling of knowing someone likes what your doing and shows that by repeat business.  That's the feeling of satisfaction like, "hey, someone gets what I'm trying to do here."


I really enjoy doing custom orders.  Why?  Each one is a challenge.  Challenges can be a good or a bad thing but it's one that keeps you reaching for new ideas.  Usually people are looking for something they've imagined but just can't seem to find.  When you create their ideas into reality that is a satisfying feat.


Here's some special orders that I completed recently.

And I just had to include this photo of some bridal jewelry I did almost a year ago.  I love this picture of the bride and her sister goofing around.

I am so excited because I'm finally taking a lampworking class on Easter Sunday.  I've had all the pieces to get started for over a year now but I've hesitated because...well, I don't want to burn the house down.  Wish me luck!
