<p>I'm joining this conversation a bit late - maybe because although I've had a few 'ho-hums' I haven't heard real negative feedback from a customer yet (not to say it won't happen one day though!) </p>
<p>But, on a positive note, today the very nicest thing happened. I got an order for a simple bridal headpiece from a young woman. Nothing fancy and quite simple for me to make. Was was lovely is that she said she was 'thrilled that her wedding headpiece was being made, as she would now have…</p>

<p>But, on a positive note, today the very nicest thing happened. I got an order for a simple bridal headpiece from a young woman. Nothing fancy and quite simple for me to make. Was was lovely is that she said she was 'thrilled that her wedding headpiece was being made, as she would now have a proper family heirloom to pass down to her daughter and grand-daughters.' I was totally awestruck at that comment. This young woman is going to get the most carefully made piece I've ever done. :) </p> You are so right, Cara.

<p>You are so right, Cara. Every time I think about it, I remind myself of all the customers who commented about the "unbelievable" quality of workmanship. At least some people understand a little about the difference between a well made product and a stamped out assembly line product.</p>

<address>Dear Bridget, I don't think it's an unhealthy attachment at all! It's simply the curse of being a passionate artist. :) I spent 10 years in the commercial design world and even after years of design school hammering into me "Don't get married to your designs!", it still happens. The customer has no idea how many hours we have painstakingly toiled over choosing the materials and molding them to the perfect form...and basically, they just want to walk away with something pretty and well…</address>
<address>Dear Bridget, I don't think it's an unhealthy attachment at all! It's simply the curse of being a passionate artist. :) I spent 10 years in the commercial design world and even after years of design school hammering into me "Don't get married to your designs!", it still happens. The customer has no idea how many hours we have painstakingly toiled over choosing the materials and molding them to the perfect form...and basically, they just want to walk away with something pretty and well made. I would have felt the exact same as you (heart in throat)- we all want our babies to go to a good home and be adored! I have a few pieces in my collection right now that will be so hard to part with - the customer won't know (or care) about the dead stock vintage materials used that are super hard to source. *sigh*. That's not to say that all customers will be that way, by any means. In fact, I think the majority of customers who are willing to pay for one-of-a-kind artwork respect it for what it is...art. At least we're in it together! XOCara</address>
