Collaboration.
I cannot take 100% credit for this, as the idea and the gift was not my own. Steve had been waiting over a year to finally be able to create this project. The only thing I can take credit for is the clashing of creative minds to figure out how to make the mounting happen.
You see, my wedding present is a love letter. And with that letter came this photo - a picture of the sunset at Hot Water Beach, Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand (2009). We camped there. The photo hangs across from our bed as a reminder of some of the most amazing moments we've had as a couple (don't worry, I bawled when I read the love letter this past Christmas)!
Steve found inspiration in a photo that was adhered to "floating glass" at a Caribou Coffee shop. The glass was thick. Really thick. And we were drawn to it. He wanted to recreate that. Together, we found a really great glass company in town - Black's Glass. The price was VERY reasonable and they are very creative and knowledgeable people. We also found these clips to offset the glass from the wall and it gives it a finished look. We, ideally, wanted holes drilled in the glass and these stainless steel offsets would appear to float. If you ever need a hole drilled in glass - just know this - it was cost you more than the glass itself. And we needed four holes. So we nixed that idea.
Here is the final project:
This photo is a little piece of Heaven.
So, consider this project a 1/2 project, as Steve was the creative genius!
This is another photo (at sunrise) of Hot Water Beach:
I wish I was there. . .
