Custom Artwork from Lupa
NOTE: As of 19 November, 2006, I am taking a temporary hiatus from custom work, as my time is pretty limited.
Over the past few years I have been asked to create a variety of custom pieces. These have ranged everywhere from wall hangings unique to the buyer to a current project--a full length patchwork fur cloak!
Please do be aware that not only do I usually have a list of at least one or two custom orders at most times, but that I also work 40+ hours a week and may not be able to complete your project right away. Don't let that discourage you, though--I rarely get backed up more than a month.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when requesting custom work:
- What do I want (pouch, shirt, etc?)
- How much do I want to pay? (This is VERY important, as it gives me an idea of how elaborate I can get and what sort of materials I can use. Also, I can suggest certain options for slightly higher or lower price brackets.)
- What do I want it made of (base material)? (Leather, denim, etc)
- What size do I want the project to be?
- What colour leather do I want?
- Do I want beadwork? If so, what colours and patterns do I want?
- What style beadwork do I want? Lazy stitch? Loomwork? Rosette?
- What other decorations do I want?
I understand that you may not know exactly what your preferences are, but do give these few guidelines a thought or two before requesting custom work. Here are some examples of past custom pieces:
