To celebrate ten years of loving goodness the girlfriend asked me to make a Custom Ode and this is what it looked like to me.
I listened to her story and took the ten factors for succes that made their relationship so much fun and gave them an iconic status in the Time Capsule, in the colour palette of her choosing.
In order of appearance:
The Rock. As they are each others rock and can always rely on each other I chose a rock made out of hematite mixed with rock crystal. A combination which provides harmony, balance and protects against negative energy.
The TV. Which symbolizes their ‘after work - quality time - for two’ when the kids are off to bed.
The Guitar. For their love of concerts and music festivals.
The Jack Bottle. Their drink of choice on the very first date and symbol for their Burgundian lifestyle.
The Dinner Table. The centre piece in their house and the place for the family dinners and many festive nights with friends.
The Chocolate Bar. For the love of chocolates.
The VW Camper Van. As they love to travel and go on road trips.
The Tree. Nature plays a big role in their lives. From surfing to hiking in the big outdoors.
The Heart. A big family of relatives and friends lights up their life.
The House. It stands for their core Family, with two little ones and one hot bun on its way!
Materials: glass and the elements in the capsule are existing materials, given new purpose.
