Personalising Daily Leaf Words

I had been making a stash of Daily Leaf Words to replenish my stock. Which I did as you can see from the photos below.

I was asked if I was willing to make a Daily Leaf Words set using words chosen by a commissioning person. I said yes as I have done this in the past including doing leaf words in languages other than English. I was also asked if I could make the leaves and bowl slightly larger. Again of course I can - that is the personalising aspect of commissions. The photos below are about that commission.

And of course along the way one makes a few Peace Leaves and an extra bowl just in case the one destined for the client doesn't turn out as well as I like.

All in all a good outcome from my work over the last few days.
