The French Tangerine contacted me via etsy with a monogram request. The above monogram was the first one that I designed.
My client came back with comments to make the letters "equal" in size, so I went back to the drawing board and came up with this one.
I thought this one might be fun using a tangerine as the moniker for the monogram.
After getting to know my client a bit more by reading her blog, my homework paid off. I realized that perhaps something that was a bit more "french provencal" would be more suited to her style than a monogram. The above artwork was sent.
My client came back requesting just the monogram, no wording and to eliminate one top tangerine. So I did the above illustration and sent it off and she was thrilled.
So you see that part of my work is getting to know the client, and to also let them know that this process takes time as all my work is done by hand and I strive to create original work for each client.
I love creating unique designs for each and every client to be used for personal stationary.
Imagine getting one of these pretties in the mail...from The French Tangerine!

I like what you did! Especially the tangerines in the urn. Would look adorable on statonery! xo
Having see you work personally on a project of ours, it's such fun to see the evolution of someone else's design! Love how your process encompasses a client's wishes without losing your signature touch.
xxoo
Love all the different options!
Your talent never ceases to amaze and delight me PVE! XXOO
I think every design is fabulous! You really do get to know your clients and bring ideas to the table that they (me) didn't even think of.
I know Jan will love the finished product. I know I do!!!

I love it. You create the most beautiful monograms! This will make such wonderful stationary! :-)
Oh, how sweet and lovely. And I love getting a little insight into your process. That you take the time to get to know your client certainly stands out in your work. Beautiful!

To be a talented artist doesn't only come with the magic of a brush, but the gift to listen. AND you my friend have both!! The images make me crave a tangerine. xo
Oh, how I can relate! Getting to know the client is so important. I usually end up doing several drafts myself, but it is fun, isn't it. You did a wonderful job. I have no doubts she loved it!!
Your clients are some of the luckiest in the world.
I liked the path you took to reach that charming result!
Nothing helps more then to know your client a bit more...
And: Thank you again for the wonderful Dahlia flower!
KARMA is always good!
She will find a sunny spot over the weekend in the garden!

I love them all!
You know how excited I am about you and your artwork! I keep thinking of new things you could illustrate for me!
So grateful we got the opportunity to work together!
A very beautiful design :))
You are incredibly talented. These works are AMAZING! I love the colors you used, glad that your client was pleased in the end.
So so pretty! Love the orange and green colors and the monogram is so lovely!
Ohhh loved seeing the evolution!
Happy Weekend!
Impressive! Not just your talent and the artwork but that you would be willing to redo and redo the artwork until it was exactly as the client wanted. Do you factor that in (all the changes) when you set your fees? And do you always show completed (in color) work before the design is finalized?
I love reading about the creative interplay between artist and client - it is definitely an evolving process. Love where you ended up!!
I love seeing the process and all of your charming options were great! ; )
you do such a great job of not only making gorgeous work... but giving really different, unique proofs. i love it!
My fav is the second one.
