First topper

When first imagining what sort of custom topper a couple might want I thought small bride and groom dressed like the real bride and groom and standing in the classic side by side pose. This has not proved to be the case. People who want a truly unique topper are a bold lot of wedding swashbucklers. My first topper for a client wasn't even figural. She was a librarian and her fiancee was an actual private investigator. They were looking for a pulp cover art sort of thing not even 3D but Siobhan was very excited when I described an idea for a fake book piece. The only clay is a core for the cover and the base. That said it was lots of fun doing the art and composing the critic's blurbs and writing the teaser extract. Except for one small art change and a grammatical correction she accepted the work which is always gratifying. And I did get to make a film noir figural topper much later for another client so there's that.
