Rotem and Natan got married in May 2023. Natan's mum wanted me to make a piece of art for the couple back then, but I was in the throes of organizing the art exhibition in Gadi's memory and it was simply not the right time for me. I told her that she could ask me again for their first anniversary, which is what she in fact did. This time I was able to create a special card for the couple and I had a photo from their big day to base it on too.
Natan's mum sent me the couple's favourite photo and, in addition, a second one which she thought had a nicer background. I suggested showing the couple posed the way they are in their favourite photo, but with the second, more natural background.
Mum thought it was a lovely idea.
Mum thought it was a lovely idea.
I was careful to match the exact shade of Natan's green suit and the flowers in Rotem's bouquet. I added his maroon pocket square and the dainty flowers in her hair.
Natan's mum wrote to tell me how much they loved the card. "Once again a really beautiful job. Thank you so much." she said.
Bring them home now!

a great image :)
Of the four kidnapped people who were recently rescued, were any of them married? You could do an image of them under their chuppah, to celebrate the best times of their lives. I have my parents' wedding images and still treasure them.
That is so beautiful!! Mazal tov to them.
I'm sorry you were not able to make a wedding card but this 1st anniversary is just as special, even more so as you have photos from their special day to work from. I'm glad they loved the card.
I love the combination of favorite pose and natural background. Beautiful. I'm saying prayers for Israel.
This is a beautiful card! I love the way you combined two different photos to make it even more unique and special :)

You do such amazing work, and what a treasure for their 1 year anniversary! We are praying for Israel and for the hostages still in captivity and the ones now home after facing such trauma. May the Lord comfort each one. Blessings to you!
Mazel tov to the newlyweds! I am certain they will treasure this card - so well done!
Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/06/play-ball.html
Your artwork is beautiful and I'm sure greatly admired and appreciated! Regarding the rescue- I have heard people in USA say that the US was involved in the rescue too- I don't know that is true but couldn't find any info- Do you know? Anyway regardless- so happy for their rescue and still weep for those held in captivity.
What a beautiful card! I bet they loved their anniversary card and their reminder of their wedding day.
Aww! What a lovely piece. That is lovely that she came back to ask for one on their anniversary. Fantastic work! x
Another beautiful card. I love all the little details that you put into your work, no wonder they were thrilled with it.
I was so happy when the 4 hostages were rescued; their families must be so relieved. I hope the remaining hostages are able to return home very soon. xx
Your paper-cutting is absolutely amazing! This is a stunning card, as usual. Something they will always treasure, I'm sure!
So happy for the freed hostages and their families!
