Birds of a Feather

A customer in the US contacted me recently to enquire whether I could make a guest book for her wedding like the one in my shop, but in the colours she had chosen for her big day. She wanted bright red and a yellowy gold - lovely cheerful colours to work with. She also asked if I could add another bird to the design. No problem!

The book came together easily enough and my customer seemed very happy with it. She left me some wonderful feedback on my Etsy shop's Feedback page. "I procrastinated on getting a wedding album and thankfully found a really cute one on Lisa's page" she said. "Lisa completed the book (which is extremely cute and perfect for my quirky wedding) in I think a day, and the package arrived from Israel to my house in California within a couple of days. Great service and amazing prices for such a darling handmade piece."
Feedback like that is the best!

Glasses and a Guitar

A short while ago I received a call from a lady looking for a special wedding card for a close family member. She had seen the cards in my Etsy shop but wasn't sure if she wanted a card from there, or something custom-made. Chatting to her, I learnt that the groom-to-be played the guitar and that the bride wore green framed glasses. I realised that I could have some fun with the illustration of this couple, and so, after a photograph was e-mailed to me, I set to work creating the groom with his guitar and those glasses! Above, and below, you can see the end result. I do hope that the card was well received and that the customized design was appreciated. The Hebrew greeting wishes the couple 'Mazal Tov' or congratulations.

I have been very lucky to have my work included in several Etsy Treasuries lately. Christine of Beads of Paradise kindly included my Purple Cupcake Notebook in a lovely collection of purple coloured gifts. It is the first time that one of my notebooks has found its way into a treasury. My cards and pictures have always featured before. Thank you Christine. The extra exposure is always very much appreciated. My notebook can be seen below, right in the middle of the picture.
