Welcome to the Stubborn Sloths Custom Orders Showcase

The place where our one‑of‑a‑kind creations come to life. Here we share finished pieces, the design thinking behind them, and the step‑by‑step photos that show how each item is made.

We Got Stubborn

Here’s what you’ll find:  

  • Work‑in‑progress photos that document patterns, drafting, wire wrapping, engraving, assembly, mistakes, restarts and creative executive decisions. 

      

  • Stories behind the pieces — who they were made for, why the design matters and a note from the maker about inspiration, materials and the little choices that make each piece personal.

  • Finished custom pieces including jewelry, engraved keepsakes, and other works of art.

Every Tuesday we feature a highlighted custom project across our social channels called “True to You Tuesday”. That post includes a short narrative, process and finished photos, and links back to the full blog post so you can explore the full design and ordering options.

Check it out here!

A calendar week starting Sunday and ending Saturday with Tuesday circled in red.

We believe the making process is part of the story. Expect close‑up images of hands at work, time‑lapse shots of wire wrapping, and candid photos from fittings, design trials and studio days. These posts highlight craftsmanship, problem solving, and the small details that make custom work special.
