Commissioned Work

My friend, Pam was commissioned to do a bead embroidery pendant using this piece of art painted by the artist herself.  If any of you have ever done commissioned work, you may or may not have had a difficult time.  It is not easy.  If you do not know the person who will be receiving the piece, it is even more of a challenge.  Kudos to Pam for creating a beautiful work of art with a difficult focal.  There was a lot of activity going on in the piece itself, and I think she did a super job tying it all together.  She said it was her favorite thing to do and her least favorite thing to do all at the same time.  Now, can anyone even relate to that?  :)
