A guy came in today to order a messenger bag from me. I guess he had bought a wallet I had made almost a year ago. He said he was impressed with it, and raved about it to other people all the time. It was very satisfying to see him come back to commission another item.
There is just something about making something for someone by hand. Especially when it holds up over time. I really enjoy the commission process. It is challenging, and a learning process for sure. But there is nothing quite like it - a connection between the buyer and maker, the whole process from start to finish, is pretty cool to watch unfold.
