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.
I am not very prone to do custom work, unless I'm allowed a good measure of creative liberty....if you like my style, or have very CLEAR ideas as to what you're looking for, supported by a drawing or comparison of some sort...then I'll consider requests for custom work. I do not repeat my own designs, everything I produce is one of a kind, but if you see something you like in my shop, and would like something more or less similar, I'll do it happily, but the end result will be different to some extent from the original.
I have a rather large selection of cabochons and beads in various stones, types of crystal, glass, lots of vintage cabs...if you're interested in something with a specific stone or type of cab...convo me! I'll photograph a selection according to your indications, and you can choose the one(s) you'd like for your piece of jewelry (or other - I also make beaded objects,sculpture, just about anything).
Beadweaving is EXTREMELY time-consuming, so depending on what you want, time frames for making an item can go anywhere from 4 - 5 days for a pair of earrings to 3 or 4 weeks and more for an elaborate necklace. Make sure you have the patience to wait if considering a custom order!
I DO NOT reproduce other people's designs. Please don't ask me to make a bracelet just like the one that broke...I won't. It's both a question of ethics and copyright issues, both of which play a significant role in my mindset in regard to art and artists in general.
