When I ordered the consultation, I knew exactly what I wanted and was certain I wanted Tako to do it. In my mind, it was a variation of a classic spoon design from the inventory with only a few tweaks. That was at the start of the call. By the end of the consult we had agreed on something I'd never considered with things that never would have occurred to me. In truth, I'm not exactly sure what I'm getting but I'm excited as hell to meet it and I know I will love it.
The design ended up as a chimera of things I wanted and things he was excited about. Which is great, because the reason I picked Tako Glass for the custom work in the first place was precisely because I loved the aesthetic choices. When my idea excites or inspires an artist, as this one seemed to, it's a lot more fun to see where that fusion of visions takes them than to remain chained to my original concept. I can't wait to see where this leads.
