Handmade in Israel: I'll Be There for You

Ella asked me to make a card for her best friend's birthday. She sent me a photo of the two of them next to the Friends purple door with the yellow frame around the peephole and asked me to recreate it in paper. A bit of trivia for the Friends fans amongst us, the yellow frame around the peephole in Monica's front door was originally a mirror and a crew member broke it. It was temporarily hung on the door, but one of the writers loved it and the frame stayed there. This frame has become an icon of Friends.

I made sure to matches the girls' clothes exactly and carefully cut out the yellow peephole frame. I added the "Happy Birthday" greeting in the style of the Friends logo used in the intro of the show. Ella chose the other words.
"The card is absolutely AMAZING and looks exactly like the two of us! Thank you so so much! She's just going to love it!" she wrote to me.

Arieh turned 24. Mum asked me for a card showing a laptop computer with Zoom open on it. She also wanted me to add some paint brushes, a right angle and a ruler too. Finally, Arieh is studying Set Design for Film, Theatre and Television at university, so she asked for a stage as well.

I think I got everything covered!
