Bespoke Wedding Anniversary Commission...

Last month before I took my Annual Leave, I was approached by a lovely lady who at the end of August was to celebrate her 1 year Wedding Anniversary with her husband, and she was on the hunt for a unique gift.
...and she came to the perfect place!

We worked together on the brief she gave, which was to create an art print to reflect a special moment they both took part in on their wedding day.  The symbolic moment between them was after their vows where they poured black and white sand into a heart shaped vessel, a process which I have not heard of before, but love the idea of.

The art print was to be a surreal and ethereal take on this moment and screen printed in the colour the sand made when mixed onto card, to represent the first year wedding present idea of paper.

This was such a wonderful project to work on, as it took me out of the usual style of drawing I am used to, which tends to be fairly illustrative.

I had a wonderful afternoon using inks and marker pens to produce swirling imagery for three possible outcomes, to be selected for the final print.
The one chosen, was my first and favourite design.  I think it reflects the moment on their wedding day perfectly.

The print was traced as a stencil and hand cut to be prepared for screen printing.
And here's the finished article!  What do you think?

I'm pleased to say this bespoke Art Print went down really well and is now hanging up in the happy couple's front room!  I'm so happy I could create something that will be memorable and cherished for each Anniversary they have together!
Here's to a Happily Ever After!
