Summer of Weddings

Tweet

Long time - no post is no indication of idleness, or so I'd like to think.  The poor excuse for a summer that we had is long long gone, and now that we're back off daylight savings time, the lack of afternoon photography light is depressing.  I have been frantically sewing, photographing and incubating, although I'm not convinced that the latter can be executed "frantically", especially since that process is responsible for a noticeable and incredibly exasperating drop in my productivity.

Anyway, I photographed a few lovely weddings this summer.  An extension of this visual snippet can be found in the Chromatophobic wedding gallery.

Recently two of my friends got married, and I made personalised bottle caps for the placeholders/party favours.  The bottles, which were to be filled with lollies used to contain medication and had to have their original rubber lids replaced because there was a possibility of needle contamination.  I made the hundred new lids out of cork and rimu veneer MDF, and not only did they work well, but they even made a cork popping sound on opening!  Cork is a horrible horrible material to laser cut because it charrs very badly and doesn't give a good edge.  Ideally it's stamped out or turned, but neither of those fabrication methods were an option.

Last few years have been wedding intense, and there are still a few in planning.  This one took place in a Wairarapa vineyard.
