Couple of months ago was the wedding of one of my closest friends. We went to uni together and now she is an art teacher at a College in Auckland. I also work there part time as an art technician.
I did an acrylic on canvas painting for their wedding present. I also designed their wedding invites. I based the design on their relationship- the husband is in the navy and spends a long time away from home. She is always waiting for him with their pet cat. I incorporated some maori patterns in the waves and the details of the sailing ship to give it some kiwiana touch.
They liked it very much :)
I can see why! It's gorgeous! What a special wedding present. I once went to a wedding of two street-performing friends of mine. Everyone's gift was a performance so there was everything from flamenco dancing to juggling to fire-eaters - it was an amazing wedding.

Thanks for the lovely comment Sally!
ReplyDeleteYour friends wedding sounds awesome. I have performed at friend's wedding in the past (violin and piano), but now I would rather sit and watch :)
Hope you had a great book signings during the past few days. And good luck with Billie launch tomorrow!!!!! YAY
Hi Aki - just letting you know I have posted a couple of photos from the launch on my blog. They are not wonderful photos (a bit blurry) so if I get some better ones I will swap them over. You'll be glad to know that you were greatly missed!
