Just a few months in the past, Hendrick’s Gin despatched over a bottle of their gin to my residence as a part of a PR reward. It’s no secret that I really like a finely-crafted gin. Additionally, gin is scrumptious. And I like it when there’s an alcohol supply – who doesn’t!

All through the pandemic / lockdown, I’ve been portray to maintain myself sane and I’ve been impressed by every kind of issues. Quotations, a passage I learn in a ebook, expressionist work, goals, vegetation, you identify it. When this explicit Hendrick’s Gin bottle arrived, it was accompanied by rose & cucumber illustrations as a result of the gin is meant to be infused with nicely, rose and cucumber.

I believed that was reasonably odd. Who considered placing collectively rose AND cucumber? I like cucumber with my gin and tonic however I’m not significantly keen on rose. I wasn’t certain I used to be going to benefit from the gin till I made a drink for myself and was pleasantly stunned. I appreciated it!

My mind determined it was a good suggestion to attempt pink and inexperienced collectively on a portray. Much like my feeling odd concerning the mixture of rose & cucumber, I’ve all the time been uncertain of placing simply pink and inexperienced colours collectively on a canvas. I believed it greatest to start out on my mini-canvas, a 2.5 inches in diameter brooch. At worst, if it didn’t work out, I may merely paint over it.

The odd shade mixture labored out! After that I needed to {photograph} the brooch together with the gin bottle and the packaging in order that I may put up it on Instagram and make the brooch accessible on my on-line store. I made it clear that the mini-painting concept was not affiliated with the model in ay method – it was impressed by the gin however the model hadn’t requested me to do something.

One factor led to a different and after a couple of weeks later, the model bought in contact with me ( through their PR company ) and commissioned me to color one other related brooch impressed by the gin and expressed their intentions to buy each the brooches.

To say that I used to be thrilled, is an understatement. You see, that is the primary model ever that has commissioned me to create artwork! It was like a dream come true. EPIC.

The brooches have been signed, sealed and shipped out to the model of their containers and with their Certificates of Authenticity. Listed here are some pictures of the brooches and the gin.
