I have some pretty amazing customers, many of whom have been around for so long that I remember writing their addresses by hand in the early days of my business. I have one long-time customer who has sent letters and even a care package (!) in the years that she's supported my business, and in one of her letters to me, she included her daughter's suggestion that I make a dinosaur clip. Earlier this year, I sat down to work out some ideas.
A few rounds of designs and samples later, I had come up with a dinosaur that I was happy with, and also a dragon design that was actually a dinosaur reject! Can you see how one idea became the other? I was really excited, and sent the clips off to the girls. I really wanted to hear their reactions! I soon received some amazing feedback in the mail:
They made one of these for each of the clips I had sent to them. Each member of the family had written feedback on colors, design, even with suggestions. Eloise's suggestion to add a princess was an excellent one, and our finished design does in fact include a princess! (PS - they loved the dragon more than they loved the dinosaur.)
Here are the finished clips:
Get the princess + dragon clips here, and the dinosaur clips here.
I love both of these clips so much, and they're so much more meaningful because of this fun collaboration with one of my most loyal customers. I hope you enjoy them too!
