Soup of the Day

A customer asked me to make a birthday card for her mum. She is a pharmacist, a brilliant cook and she loves to read, her daughter told me. I asked her what mum's favourite thing to cook is. The answer was soup.
I have shown my customer's mum with a big soup ladle in one hand and a book in the other. She is surrounded by some blister packs of pills and some capsules, which represent her profession as a pharmacist. In front of mum is a big pot of soup, some pill containers and a couple of books. Finally, a big number 79 marks her age.
My customer seemed delighted with the card. She left me a message saying "My mother LOVES the card" and then kindly shared it on Facebook as well. "The incredible Lisa Isaacs made this GORGEOUS card for my mom. How talented is she?" she wrote.

The soup pot is great, and the pills and containers are a wonderful way to add her profession. A great card!

I was wondering about the cooking with all the pills; then of course I read your description and it made perfect sense! What a fun and colorful card.

I used to follow my beloved grandmother around with a booklet and pen, writing down her recipes and dinner thoughts. Soup was always the most important start to a meal, just as your customer's mum shows.
