First and foremost.......what is a custom design? In my eyes is is something designed just for you ...for no one else just you. When I custom design a piece for someone, I want to know about this person first. What is their story, Where in life are they at, how can I help make their dream a reality.
You might think how could this be done if you never actually see this person in front of you? Well to tell you the truth and this might sound a bit strange, but I either wake up early in the morning with the finished design in my head and then I get up and just start putting it together, or I get the design when I talk to the person, either in a chat room or the phone. Sometime I get several ideas, which I then present to my customers.
I always incorporate something about the person who places an order for the custom design. This particular choker and bracelet set on the left has incorporated many symbolic meanings and also Awareness colours, which the woman who ordered the pieces can identify herself with. Some of the colours mean milestones for her that she has over come. Some of the colours are things she faces everyday.
Either way the person who bought this gorgeous set is going to wear it a lot, because she absolutely loves it and feels this is a piece of her.
I have done several custom designs since the beading bug bit me.
The Bracelet with the Shark was a custom Design for a women from San Jose who is a die hard SJ Shark Fan. All she had for me was a picture from their Mascot or symbol.
