Custom order: rhinestone and pearl flower centers


My third custom order in last 5 days. Rhinestone and pearl flower centers in custom color. Deep emerald green and pearls combination- A fun to create! Very cute appliques with endless options to use! How would you like to use these? Other colors are also available in my Etsy shop

I am simultaneously working on three custom orders. Bought some supplies today, done packaging & shipping rhinestone chains from my supplies shop and now waiting for my husband's helping hand to organize my working space this weekend and a little shopping.

A busy and happening April. I love this month! Why so?....... *ahem*.... there's something special coming next week! Guess!!! ;)

It's a century!

All I can say is ....hurray!!

I was not happy with the response I was getting for a long time when I opened my first Etsy shop on 21st May 2011. Still I kept working, trying, updating, experimenting, learning and what not. As most Etsyians do, I kept reading (and still do) the Etsy Success and Featured Seller articles to know more about them, their success, their tips and suggestions. Slowly and steadily my selling increased, I got repeat buyers, great feedbacks (100%.positive!... yay!!!)  And it's today! Folk Stroke celebrates 100 sales!

I had a goal of reaching 100 sales within one year of shop opening. To my satisfaction, I could reach the goal before time! I’m very thankful to all my buyers who appreciated my work enough to purchase. Their feedbacks are encouragements for me! THANK YOU EVERYONE! Thank you for liking my shop, featuring my items in your gorgeous treasuries and for buying from Folk Stroke!

To celebrate, I am offering storewide flat 10% discount on every purchase this week!

Thank you once again! Wish me luck!

Sequin Eye Applique! My new unique custom request!

As I have always said, I love custom orders! I love to create new and unique appliques! I love to experiment and offer one of a kind appliques to my buyers!
Many handmade appliques from my shop are born out of custom inquiries! I am lucky to have creative buyers who visualize and suggest some changes according to their need and that gives birth to a new custom applique!

Here is a very unique sequin applique I am making for a lovely lady. An eye applique!!! I am so very excited! Well, there is a secret behind the excitement which only few people know.....Aboli making a sequin  EYE applique! hmmmm.... may be this is not the time to reveal the secret.......!!!!! Let's keep it for some other time.



This was the sample I made. The finishing is not accurate though. Now I am working on the proper custom order! Really happy!

Want these? Contact me right away!

I have a good news to share............little waiting please!
