For Simple Curves PlatesThe plates Ellen made for me were fantastic. She was more concerned about the look of the final glaze than me. I couldn't be more pleased with her design. I planned to order some small bowls after I return from my next trip
BRITTNEY LEMKE
For BRITTNEY's Cake ToppersEllen is so easy to work with, listened to everything I had to say, and made the most amazing art piece! She was timely, stuck right with the time line of the project. She kept me updated with each stage of the process and sent numerous pictures so I would know what it looked like throughout. I cannot wait for it to actually be on top of my wedding cake, a one of a kind piece. Exactly what I asked for! If you are looking for someone who will work with you and make sure you are comfortable with all of the unknowns of working with someone online Ellen is the way to go!
Jaime Stagg
For Jaime's VaseI am extremely happy with how my custom Zelda themed vase turned out! I sent an original rendering I did and she was able to match it exactly! Ellen was a pleasure to work with and would keep me updated every step of the way! I loved that she also sent in progress shots. I will be using her for future projects with out a doubt!
Chantal Mathys
For Chantal's Cake ToppersEllen is an amazing artist and designer!! She did a beautiful job making my wedding cake topper that was a very intricate piece to say the least, but it turned out absolutely stunning!! Better than I imagined... Ellen was a pressure to work with and she kept me informed and sent me rough draft pictures throughout the entire project!! Would definitely recommend her work to anyone wanting something custom you can cherish for a life time.... ?????
Grace Chan
For Grace's VaseI am very satisfied with Ellen's work. She was very communicative and she took extra care in packing the products to ensure nothing break during shipping. I will be glad to work with Ellen again!
Andrea Lopez
For Andrea's Home & GardenWorking with Ellen was great. I had been searching for someone to do my project for about a year, until finally I found this website and her. I loved that she did not complain or put any excuses to anything I asked for it was always her opinion and "but you're the customer" I am definitely going to come back to her.
Cheryl Robinson
For The Bug TilesWe were very pleased with the tiles Ellen produced for us. She seemed very conscientious about producing a product to our specifications. She keep in constant contact as the project progressed. She also seemed very knowledgeable about her craft. Ellen did not mind answering our questions about the process of making tiles so we could better understand what our limitations were, if any, with what we were trying to accomplish. The tiles turned out beautifully! We would definitely recommend her if you are looking to have some custom tiles made.
Rob Freeman
For Rob's Cake ToppersVery good overall - would recommend to others. Very professional, strong attention to detail, project completed on time.
Erin Benton
For Erin's Cake ToppersI just received my custom made cake topper from Ellen and it is beautiful! The pictures didn't do it justice! I am so happy with my decision to use Ellen, she finished it much earlier than I needed and it is way better than I even imagined! Thank you so much!
Joel Meine
For Joel's VaseI am very pleased with the final product that Ellen produced; i.e. a ceramic planter pot. It looks great. She always did very well at keeping me up to date. Although I was only wanting one pot, she actually made several varieties for me to choose from and posted photos for me to select the one I liked best. She packed the pot very well and thankfully it did not break during transit. Thank You Ellen.
Monica Littlejohn
For Monica's 2 Ceramic TilesTo say I am thrilled with Ellen's tiles would be an understatement! An absolutely delightful experience! The tiles themselves are beautiful and so unique. I couldn't have selected a more appropriate artist for this project. Ellen kept us updated during each step of the tile construction with information about the process itself along with pictures of the tiles in progress. They arrived well-packaged and in the agreed upon time frame. Thank you to CustomMade.com for providing this opportunity to connect with such amazing artists! And a HUGE Thank You to Ellen for making my dream of the perfect gargoyle tiles for my fireplace a reality!

For silver vaseEllen did a beautiful job matching the vase I sent to her. I was unable to find anyone locally who could match the design. The work was excellent and timely, even after I was working within tight timeframe. All my correspondence with Ellen was friendly and professional. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for future projects.
Bob Carriker
For enamel pendantsEllen took my idea and implemented it perfectly. The results exceeded what I thought I might get. When I brought the project to her I had an idea of what I wanted, but no concept of how it could actually happen. She understood what I needed and knew how to get it done. We're really pleased with the pendants she made and she was a pleasure to work with.

Eve Farrell
