Do you find that you tend to craft better when you are making something with a specific person in mind?

And...

What do you about customers who want to change their orders after you finish it?! :crankey:

I do my best work when I'm just making whatever I feel like making, for no one in particular.

Customers who want to change their orders after I'm done can go fuck themselves.

I'm working on a piece right now that allows me to have full creative license. It's for a friend's wife, I've never met her, but the guidelines are loose, and allowing me to really "design", which is something I haven't been able to do these past few orders. I can be myself and relax. I bet that has more to do with it than it just being for my friend, then.

Thank you. I said that in the nicest way possible to the guy that decided he wanted 3/4 length sleeves after I appliqued and machine embroidered the hems of long sleeves. Asswipe.

If someone is willing to adjust the due-date and the price, then let 'em make changes.

If they aren't, then Nigel should shove her product up their bums.  At temperature.

This will be my new disclaimer:

"All orders are final upon completion. Alterations can be made at cost. If the buyer is unwillingly to pay for alterations resulting from a change of mine or incorrect measurements, they will be sodomized by glowing lampwork glass still on the mandrel by a Nixon-obsessed woman from Portland, Oregon."

And that's not a warning, that's a selling point.
