This Dragon Hood was requested by a gal that loved my Dragon Hats and wanted to get one for her massively dreadlocked friend so she asked if I could create a hood with dragon spikes. It took a few weeks of trial and error for me to be happy with the Dragon Hood but when it was finished, it was awesome (or rawrsome :D)
Dragon Hats in custom colors are the easiest for me to accommodate. I keep a large supply of hues in stock so the wait time for a custom colored hat is usually one week, but can be as short as three days.
Typically, when a customer asks for a hat or scarf in a different color option, I send them a picture of the hues I have available. That way, I don't need to make five different hats before I get to the best color combination for my customers.
Last Fall, I was asked to translate Amelia Earhart's aviator hat into a crocheted design using a photo for inspiration. The end result was a super cool aviator in a hand dyed mossy green, red apple detailing, and a vintage buckle.
Attaching the buckle was the hardest part to work out. She and I were both super pleased with how this custom aviator hat turned out. I love the chinstrap!
With me, or just about any other Etsy seller, custom requests are fantastic. Just give us a bit of time, communicate what you want, and don't ask us to copy another designer. Also, pictures and sketches definitely help :D
