Also — you know how I don't do custom work? I don't. But once in a while someone asks me for something and the stars, planets and coffee mugs are aligned sooooo perfectly that it's easier to say yes than to give the boilerplate I'm-a-messed-up-introvert-better-left-to-do-whatever-I-can-in-my-studio speech. This just happened with me and Karen. She recently bought a black slip dress, with a matching cowl collar. Could I, she asked, make a larger version of the collar? Well, huh — yes. I could. I just happened to have more black silk, and I was about to start making this batch the very next week. I know! Kismet.
