Wow, it's January! A new year and an ideal time for me to think over all I did last year and all the things I wanted to do but didn't have the time to.
A lot of my time is spent drawing designs and making things but lots of time is also spent planning which shows I want to exhibit at and then actually exhibiting at them! My three weeks in August is a prime example, I was basically unable to work on any commissions within that time, it was just too much work to be there 7 days a week for three weeks AND try to make commissions.
Luckily for me I have some very organised clients; these wedding rings were for a September 2015 wedding but the email about them pinged into my inbox in May 2014. Had they been requested in the August for the September they probably wouldn't have been done in time!
The couple got engaged at the Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry and are big, hills and forest people, so they wanted something really unique to incorporate all those elements.
