Alchemy is Etsy's system for requesting custom items. A buyer describes the item they would like and the seller responds with the details of the item they can create. Read about how Alchemy works in our Alchemy Overview.

We're taking a brief break from custom work until mid-August.
If you'd like something special, and you're willing to wait, we'll be happy to add you to our waiting list, but we won't be able to begin work on your piece until after August 18.

Love our work, but can't find your favorite food for sale? Request it! We love custom orders, and are always willing to entertain a challenge.
Generally, we create tiny food miniatures (whether they be as charms, or as stand-alone minis for dollhouses). We have done some other pieces in the past, but our passion is really the tiny food.
Timeline: We're taking a brief break from custom work until mid-August. Normally, however, custom orders generally take us between 2-3 weeks to complete, depending on the length of our waiting list. Occasionally we can squeeze in your request more quickly, so feel free to ask!
Pricing: Most of our custom work is priced in line with the work we currently have in our shop. Individual charms are usually $6-$10, earrings are usually between $18-$24, necklaces start at $18, cuff links are almost always $24, and gourmet bracelets (with lots of extra beading) are $50 and up. Our quotes are firm, so rest assured that we won't charge you more than we quote.
There are a few things we can't do:
1. anything extremely transparent (ice cubes, etc.), although translucent (jelly, etc.) is no problem.
2. Anything copyrighted. We can't replicate packaging for trademarked foods. We know they're cute, but we can't copy them, sorry. If a generic of your favorite treat exists, we're happy to create something similar in spirit.
Still have questions? Contact us through etsy, and we'll be happy to answer them!
We can't wait to hear what tiny food treats you'll dream up!
