In the interests of cutting things ridiculously fine, I agreed to take on a commission for some artwork last week. Here is the finished piece, fresh back from the framers:
I am really pleased with it – sometimes it’s so great to get a commission on the go as it’s a good chance to do something a bit different that you perhaps wouldn’t have thought of before…
This client wanted something that would look good in her living room, so she brought me round a sample of fabric from her Marimekko curtains which look like this and we talked about how she has a few things that are covered in gold leaf.
All the butterflies are colours to match in with the curtains and I added in one large butterfly in gold leaf for good measure – lovely!

I think this is just so beautiful and I also love your nursery, it looks smashing. Very talented
thanks bella! 😀
Hi birdface,
That’s an amazing piece. How many of those have you made?

thanks dan 🙂
i have made a fair few of these now… the nice thing is that they are all completely original as the papers are all hand made and hand cut. i couldn’t make two of them the same if i tried!!
yeah they’re lovely! How much does a commission cost?
A commission for a piece this size would be £900.
I can work to any size/colour scheme required though. Smaller pieces start from £125.
Let me know if you’re interested 🙂
oooo – I want one! a little out of my (always waiting for bloody invoices to be paid) budget though – very lovely!
