At the beginning of the summer I received a photo in my inbox which a customer wanted me to recreate in paper! She realised that there would be a lot of work involved but wanted a really special card for the wedding of a young man she is very close to. "I'd love it to be as close a copy of the photo as it can be." she said. An unusual request but one I was happy to have a go at.
My customer was quite specific - she wanted the trees and leaves behind the bench, as well as the couple in the exact pose as in the photo. I dressed them in the very same clothes and had them sitting back-to-back on the bench as she requested. I hand cut each of those little leaves in different autumnal shades too.
On the front of the card she wanted the short and sweet greeting 'Danny ♥ Malki' and inside 'Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, laughter, joy and simcha.'
It took me quite some time to complete this card because I was working to such a specific brief but my lovely customer was encouraging. "I have absolutely no doubt that we will love what you create" she wrote.
I am happy to say that she did.

This is beautifully done. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it finds a home in a frame of their new home together.
