Honor and Remember
This was a challenging project, customer had a dream and an idea mulling around in his head for several years but had not been able to put it together on exactly how he wanted to use the idea or what he wanted to make out of it. He saw a presentation that was being done with another design that I was working on for an organization and that sent him into "lets get it done mode".
He sent me this picture with the addition of "would be nice if we could add a dixie cup to it". That left me scratching my head and responding with a long list of questions. Which were answered with a second picture.
this is a dixie cup (not the drinking cup that was causing me to scratch my head.)
He really wanted to keep the life ring in tact and wanted to make sure that the rope was incorporated into the design. Along with figuring out a way to incorporate the hat, The design evolved into a couple of different variations.
The first version that we made a few of:
The water behind the silhouette made us wonder if we could actually make the life ring look like it was entirely floating in water. Which lead us to the final version of this 4 inch round patch.
