Last week we got an interesting custom order request to make some truffula trees and other embellishments for a graduation cap in a specific color palette. While I initially thought that the truffula trees wouldn’t be too difficult to make, they actually took quite a bit of trial and error to get the fluffy, swirly look while having a flat back. Thankfully, the customer ended up loving how they turned out. It was also a good reminder how important it is for us to continue experimenting and playing around with different techniques so that we can continue to learn, have fun, and not feel stagnant in what we’re creating.
