For my creative space this week I get to share what I've been working on for the past few weeks (now that the recipients have got their pic, and I won't be spoiling any surprise).
This is a commission for a really lovely couple from California, who wanted to mark their relationship. They are getting married in just a few weeks (eee!), and I think this was a gift to themselves to celebrate.
Let me tell you, when doing these commissions I really rely on pictures and stories they send, but I also rely hugely on Google. I jump onto Google Maps and research trees and landscapes and what the beaches look like in the area where the couple are from, and I research animals and general images of the area in the Google image search. Then I piece it all together into something that hopefully speaks to them on a personal note.
The challenge with this one was combining their interests (they asked me to combine knitting and spearfishing). It took me a while to work it out, but hopefully they're happy with my interpretation.
Have a great wedding Jen and Patrick! And of course a very happy marriage together...
