Wanna see what I've been up to? (not quite commercial post)

Post by anniemcu »

Joanie Madden commissioned me to make one of my Sassafrass Whistle Rolls for her...

(see my avatar for the end shot)

Image
This one shows the paper mock-ups of her Burkes (Thanks Mike, for helping me with the measurements)

Image
Here it is fully open, with the business card pocket, markers pocket and the "Specially Made For" label

Image
Half rolled

Image
Fully Rolled and Ready to Go!

Her response upon opening it after delivery was quite satisfying. :D

Tell us something.: Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Part of what I love about celtic/folk style music is the sound of a handful of handmade instruments that remind me of simpler times.

VERY nice, and well thought out. Maybe you should make up a few in different sizes—a low set and high set—and offer them up sale?

Cool! I saw your bag "in action" at the CTL concert Friday night, and I wondered where she got it. It's beautiful!

Looks great, Annie. THe other Weekender made me one but the thing I always wonder about is, what about other brands and makes of whistles that don't fit symmetrically. That happened on mine.
.
Is Joanie only using Burkes on tours now? That seems pretty newsworthy!
How do you prepare for the end of the world?

That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
Gorgeous.

Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

I wouldn't make that claim... she uses many. I just made this case for that set.

I can fit specific whistles or make a generic that handles most. The generics have to be a bit looser though, as it's the circumference that tends to vary, while the length stays fairly consistent.

I make a "Dozen D's" and a "Dozen Hi-Lo" that are more generic. When I get the website up and running, I'll announce it.

edited once to repair the quote

It was very neat...Weesa and I were looking at it as well. We were both pretty much drooling over it.

But I guess you gotta filter out the spambots.
