This is a project that I picked up through Alchemy- Etsy’s custom request system.  I love the bride’s idea.  I remember how exciting it was planning everything for the wedding.  Getting married did seem to me like planning a trip to a far galaxy.

Etsy’s Alchemy: A place where buyers can post requests for custom handmade items, and then sellers bid on the opportunity to make the goods.

I have made lots of bids for items, and I was chosen to do 4 so far.   I just want to show you some of the commissioned work that I have been doing.

The first Alchemy job was for an Australian crafter:

The custom art was for the scrappindipity website.  They sent me some photos, and I used my Wacom tablet to illustrate.  One nice thing about this was the method of shipping- no trips to the post office; I just emailed it.

These paintings were also done through Alchemy:

I still have one more Alchemy project to work.  I will be painting an ACEO in acrylic.  Hopefully that will be finished later this weekend.  All of the people I have worked for on etsy have been very kind.  I am thankful for that.

Decima sent me an illustration job for a wedding shop in Chicago.  That was also done in Photoshop.

The next big thing is a 24×30 oil portrait for an etsy buyer.  The deadline is the end of the month, so I need to get to work.  If anyone wants to babysit, let me know.
