This was a gift for my good friends Brian and Kristyn, who were recently married on a beach in Hawai'i. 'I ho'okahi kahi ke aloha' means 'Be one in love'. Yet another use for my beloved IKEA Ribba shadow boxes. May they never stop producing them.
I had the most fun making the flowers. I got the basic idea from this MS post, except mine are in felt and not ultrasuede. Then I modified it a bit to make it look more tropical.
The lackluster embroidery is my least favorite thing about it. I'm not a great embroiderer, but I aspire to be. I lack the patience required. It's a bit lumpy and wonky and won't lay flat. And this is the second attempt. I recommended that my friends remove the embroidery as soon as possible and replace it with a great wedding photo.
