commission work
I am happy to discuss commission work with you. Much of my work over the last six years has been commissions. I have worked with beads owned by the customer or my own. If you see beads that you like on a piece from my website but are interested in taking the beads in another direction I may be able to get the artist to make a similar set. Lampwork beads are one-of-a-kind pieces of glass art so no two would ever be the same. In some cases the challenge may be getting the other beads, stone, pearl or crystal as they are often vintage or one-of-a-kind.
Commission pieces typically take a bit longer to complete because the bead artist and I need to integrate the order into production and show schedules.
One of the most popular commission requests is for wedding jewelry for the bride and/or wedding party. Adequate time needs to be allowed to make sure I can have pieces ready for the celebration.
For commission pieces I typically ask for the cost of materials up front and the rest prior to receiving the piece. I will email pictures of the completed pieces for approval.
