I hear that the chuppah was well received at Jenny and Scott's wedding - and I am so pleased that I was able to contribute towards their big day. Megan's own wedding photographer Luke Walker has very kindly put some information about me on his blog http://www.lukewalkerphotography.com/blog/This was the most amazing chuppah creation I could have ever imagined. The bride and groom (as well as the parents)were in tears. There was a particularly beautiful part of the ceremony where the rabbi asked the bride and groom to look up at the chuppah and see all the messages of love and support that their family and friends had made. Rachael's work was creative (incorporating the bride's wishes as well as her own aesthetic suggestions), absolutely beautiful (outside in Vail, against the green Rockies), and impeccably done (every square set off with individually chosen fabric and every seam perfectly stitched). As the bride's mother said, Rachael has created an heirloom. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!I hope to be able to post more photos of the chuppah on my website soon.
I was worried that Betty (although she looks quite well fed) looked a tad ..... dare I say it .... Bunny naked .... so I made her a little cotton summer dress.
Betty didn't stay in New York very long until she was shipped to Chula Vista, California in her little gift bag.
My dear friend Megan asked me to make Jenny & Scott's Chuppah for their wedding on June 29th. I have been so excited to be involved. Invited guests were sent a 7"x7" square and asked to decorate it in some way. These squares were then sewn together. Jenny also provided some Japanese fabrics that she wanted incorporated into the Chuppah. Your wedding day is such an enormous life event - and because of this production has been a nerve wracking experience - and I just hope that Jenny & Scott enjoy the finished product. I'll post some more photos soon .......
Rachael Rabbit was a hand made toy rabbit given to me when I was really young. Rachael Rabbit came with me everywhere - she was my best friend and companion - I was very protective of her - and was constantly terrified of losing her and in fact I wasn't entirely sure how I would cope with life without her.
