Speechless

I cannot believe how much fun I am having getting my business up and running.  I've had several orders come in and have been pumping them out as quickly as possible but giving piece of art the time and effort it deserves.  

I've had a couple of monogram orders.  Here are some pictures of the final pieces:

 

(I created this one first but didn't like it enough to give to the buyer so I kept this one for myself, for my craft fair booth one day and re-did the letter "N".)

I loved this one way better!

Great color choices on the letter "J" for a high school graduate to hang in her college dorm this Fall!

I've also worked on a end-of-the-year teacher's gift:

And a pregnancy announcement that a woman from Georgia ordered to announce her pregnancy to her boyfriend.  She even used her own spanish poem to tell him the exciting news:

I've also just finished a small order of 10 baby shower invites.  This project is my latest favorite.  It took my ideas to a new level.  I hand-cut and created the chevron look, along with punching out tons of letters and banner pennants to then glue the letters one-by-one on  the pennant and then gluing the pennant onto beading string.  And then there was the quilled piglet and duckling.  Endless task but soooo worth it!  Here are some photos:

I have some other new ideas up my sleeve that I'm looking forward to creating now that the orders are completed.  I have 2 pending orders that I'll work over the next week (they aren't time sensitive) and I have a great idea for a new project.  We shall see!!  =)

Thanks for checking in and come back again soon!
