Another craft
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 04:20AM
When I posted my last craft project, a house-warming gift for a friend, a friend from work subtely mentioned that she had just moved into a new apartment, too. I was looking for another project anyway so I immediately got started on something for her. In another act of shameless self-promotion, here it is:
Not that I think this is gonna pay dem bills, but I thought I'd throw it out there. If you know anyone who'd be interested in a hand-embroidered craft, send them my way yo!
A glimpse at the process and necessary tools

Upclose look at the detail
If you know anyone who would be interested in this kind of thing, please send them my way. I really enjoying doing these things as gifts, but I wouldn't mind selling them either. The great thing is that they can be totally personalized. Show me a design you like and I'll recreate it in embroidery. I can frame it, make a pillow, a small blanket, whatever. I'm open to ideas! I also do names and initials or words.
I'm in a bit of a financial, uh, situation right now (the reasons to be revealed soon, I promise) and could really use any extra buck I can get. I'm thinking of opening an Etsy shop, but I'd rather do custom orders if there's interest.

I absolutely LOVE this pillow!!! I really wish I knew how to do stuff like this. And, as a matter of fact, this post makes me want to LEARN how to do stuff like this.
So...how much would you charge for a pillow? Email me. :)
You should totally open an Etsy shop. It's easy enough to add a line that says, "like this? I can custom make 'em."
as soon as this popped up, i thought etsy ~ and you can add a line that you do custom work so you could post an example and state that.
all that aside ... i am interested!! i am in love with your talent and would love an art pillow !! i am heading off on vacation for three weeks but email me with cost details and lets make a deal ... please. i am all about supporting the women in my life especially the uber talented ones and i would love to have a piece of you in my home ... xox
You should hold a class. I would definately pay to learn how to do this!
It's beautiful. I love the colors and design, and I would really love to have you make something for me...but I'm not sure what (whether it would be a design for me, or more likely for me to give as a gift). I would also like to know the cost of a pillow.
Oh, and I LOVE MY PILLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm IN love with it, I think. =)
Thank you so much! It's fabulous!!!
It looks GREAT on my bed too.
I think I may want one for a Christmas gift for Molly. She loved it too. Of course, we all covet your talent to do such things. So, if I can pick something out, you'll have to give me a quote. Not that it will matter becuase I'll say, "Do it!" regardless. =)
Thank you for my present. I LOVE IT!!! =)
(I'll take pics of it on my nicely made bed too. heheh)
I would so pay you for something. How much would a pillow like (not exactly) this cost?
