A commission from a friend who lives in France. She saw a blue candlestick on my Facebook page that she loved, but unfortunately I had already sold it, so she commissioned me to make her one. She loved the original because it reminded her of one she had when she was young, so had me paint this one in that style, navy with orange flowers.
A commission for a pair of plates and a spoon, to send to Australia for a friend's birthday. Her only specifications were that she wanted the plates in the same colour ways but different patterns, and wanted them black with red roses.
The second plate. Unfortunately I didn't think to photograph the spoon!
I was commissioned to create a biscuit tin for a client's friend's birthday, with the name of the friend's canal boat on it. Here's some feedback from the client:
"I've just received the biscuit tin for my friend's birthday, and it's lovely! Just what I wanted - roses and forget-me-nots with the name of her canal boat round the side. I know that she'll love it. Thank you Madeleine - I'd recommend your work to anyone who wants a gift for a canal boating friend."
