Some new stuff

I’m working on new designs and I’ve learned that that process can be a very happy one, but also a very frustrating one. Frustrating when I’m not satisfied at all with a design (even after making a couple of prototypes) and when I feel like I’m spilling precious time with sketching, trying and not-be-satisfied with the result. What I did learn is that this process is inevitable if you want to keep renewing and offering new cool things to your customers (and, of course, defy yourself to try something new).

The making of this new cake topper fortunately was a happy one. So happy that I even made a tiny little felt hat for the groom, which took about as much time as making the whole owlette. But I’m not complaining, I love the result. Another very happy aspect of new products is crowning them with some nice photos (and for this project, fold origami hearts to decorate it with)!

Overall I’m learning a lot about myself and the creative process (and that creativeness isn’t a very easy to direct flow). If you like these two, I can already make them for you. You can contact me at info[at]ohmarie.nl. They will also appear in the shop once I open it again (which will probably be somewhere in August..this year ;-))
