How do I make a custom order?
First you contact me at mailler.manekineko@gmail.com with your idea. If it's something simple like I would like a different color here then I can get to making it right away.
However if you want something truly original this will be our design stage. We can go on to talk about what you have in mind. I'll design the piece and send you a copy to talk about. From there it's a matter of deciding on price and me getting to work.
Do you make all this yourself?
Yes. I coil and cut all of my own rings in order to get the specific sizes. Then once I have a good pile of rings I weave them all together ring by ring into the lovely patterns you see here.
