Love Birds and Kissing Fish

Posted by Sigrid Olsen on August 29, 2011 0 Comments

 Fish and Birds have long been among my favorite motifs. The egret was, in fact, the first shape I cut out of the surface of a potato and applied to the surface of a fabric to print. It was the central icon of my company's logo and still to this day graces many a card or platter in my gallery. And love is one of my favorite emotions. The promise of new love is imbued with such hopefulness, such optimism that the notion of an upcoming wedding grabs everyone's heart and makes it sing. 

So I think...why is it so hard to find gifts for the happy couple that match the exuberance and good spirits of the occasion? It is not a time to be overly practical, but to capture the memories of joyfulness and bring them literally to the table every day. That's why I enjoy offering and creating every wedding platter that I make as a special order gift. It is my favorite studio assignment and I have engaged my fish and birds to commemorate the event with me in the two designs I mentioned above and pictured below. Every platter ( there are 4 sizes ranging from $60 to $160) can be ordered by motif ( fish or birds), by color ( blues, aquas, greens etc) and inscribed on the bottom with the couples names and date of the wedding. They make the perfect shower or wedding gift and can be shipped directly to the recipients.

NOW we also have Kissing Fish and Love Birds Cards to enclose with your gift!
