A custom order: the Mountain Lion

Una cosa che mi piace davvero tanto è ricevere ordinazioni personalizzate, scoprire la piccola grande storia che si cela dietro una richiesta è interessante e stimolante.
Qualche tempo fa ho ricevuto una richiesta molto carina da parte di una cliente che desiderava fare un regalo speciale alla sua migliore amica. Questa cliente aveva visto la mia FantaZoo collection e ha pensato di commissionarmi un pendente con un puma, visto che la sua amica ama questi animali.
Ho  pensato che era una richiesta molto carina e mi sono subito messa all'opera.

I like so much  receive custom orders, to discover the nice story that is behind a request is interesting and stimulanting.
Some time ago I received a lovely request from a customer that wanted make a special gift to her best friend. This customer had seen my FantaZoo collection and she thought to commission a mountain lion pendant, because her friend loves this animal.
I thought that was a nice request and I started work.


Come prima cosa ho cercato delle immagini.
First I searched some pictures.




ITA Poi ho fatto dei bozzetti da mandare alla cliente per darle l'idea del prodotto finito e per farle scegliere il tipo di pendente.

ENG Then I made some sketches to send to the customer to give her an idea of the finished necklace and to let her choose the kind of pendant.



ITA Una volta scelto il modello ho realizzato la collana, eccola qui! La prossima volta farò le foto del work-in-progress!
ENG The client has chosen the pendant shape and I made it! Next time I'll shoot the work-in-progress!






ITA Il messaggio che è stato scelto dalla cliente è "La tua anima è bella e coraggiosa".
ENG She has chosen the message "Your soul is brave and beautiful".


ITA L'illustrazione è fatta con micropenna, pastelli e pennarelli.
 Ho incluso anche un biglietto con il significato totemico del puma: " Il puma ti aiuta a credere nei tuoi ideali e nella verità, qualità che ti permettono di essere un leader". Evidentemente la destinataria del regalo si rispecchia in queste caratteristiche!

Spero che le piacerà!

ENG The illustration is made from micropen, colored penciles and markers.
I included also a card with the totemic significance of the mountain lion: "The mountain lion helps you to live up your ideals and to the  truth, qualities that allows you to be a leader". Evidently the recipient of the gift is reflected in these features!

I hope she like it!:))
