a commission

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked by Laura, a fellow maker, to create a Swedish bead basket for her craft room. She wanted to feature her signature colours, turquoise and yellow, and together we decided that the bold and classic 'Mountain' pattern would be a good choice.

I'm so pleased with the way the basket turned out and I'm even more pleased that Laura is happy with it! She has filled it with her most treasured craft tools and it lives, beaming away happily, in her AWESOME craft room. (Just look at it! How amazing it must be to work in that room?!)

I love working on commissions! It accomplishes the very best of handmaking - creating an individual piece that has warmth, that connects with someone and tells a story - and that makes it immensely satisfying work.

If you have any ideas for commissions or collaborations, I would LOVE to hear from you!

Please get in touch with your idea, no matter how big or small.

(Thanks to Laura, for asking me to work with you and for the beautiful photos.
