Commissions and custom orders

• Please DO NOT ask me to make a piece exactly the same as one I had made before and has been sold. I only create unique items. I can however make something similar and within the same style: either the colour would be different, or the type of bead, type of wire, size etc.
• When I create the commission piece for you, I will sell it to you ONLY via my Etsy shop. It is to prevent potential payment/shipping problems and for the safety of both the buyer and the seller. I can however omit this rule if you live in the Dublin (Ireland) area. Email me and we’ll figure something out to spare you the shipping cost. Also if you know me personally, you will know what to do
• Please be advised, that sometimes what people want is impossible for me to make. For example, you say “I want this but in pink instead of red”, and the type of bead used in the piece you want just doesn’t come in pink, so there’s no way for me to get it anywhere. I’ll also probably protest if what you want I think will look bad. I can give you advice as to what colours you probably should or shouldn’t be wearing (on request).
• Sometimes you will have to wait a few weeks if I don’t have a particular type of bead or wire you requested in your item; I’ll have to order it first, get it shipped to me, and then create the piece.
• I will NOT reduce the price of the item especially for you. This is what I do for a living. How would you feel if I went to your boss and told him you make too much money and you should be paid less for what you do?
• Also, please send all commission requests by email or as a dA note, NOT as comments to this or any other page. The request comments will be removed. I do not wish to discuss my business in public.
