Naina.co On-line Model Constructing, Pictures and Artwork by Naina Redhu #WearableArt Brooches Fee for Hendrick’s Gin

Just a few months in the past, Hendrick’s Gin despatched over a bottle of their gin to my condominium as a part of a PR present. It’s no secret that I really like a finely-crafted gin. Additionally, gin is scrumptious. And I like it when there’s an alcohol supply – who doesn’t!

All through the pandemic / lockdown, I’ve been portray to maintain myself sane and I’ve been impressed by all types of issues. Quotations, a passage I learn in a e-book, expressionist work, desires, crops, you title it. When this explicit Hendrick’s Gin bottle arrived, it was accompanied by rose & cucumber illustrations as a result of the gin is meant to be infused with properly, rose and cucumber.

I believed that was reasonably odd. Who considered placing collectively rose AND cucumber? I like cucumber with my gin and tonic however I’m not significantly keen on rose. I wasn’t certain I used to be going to benefit from the gin till I made a drink for myself and was pleasantly stunned. I appreciated it!

My mind determined it was a good suggestion to attempt pink and inexperienced collectively on a portray. Much like my feeling odd in regards to the mixture of rose & cucumber, I’ve at all times been not sure of placing simply pink and inexperienced colours collectively on a canvas. I believed it finest to start out on my mini-canvas, a 2.5 inches in diameter brooch. At worst, if it didn’t work out, I may merely paint over it.

The odd colour mixture labored out! After that I needed to {photograph} the brooch together with the gin bottle and the packaging in order that I may put up it on Instagram and make the brooch obtainable on my on-line store. I made it clear that the mini-painting concept was not affiliated with the model in ay method – it was impressed by the gin however the model hadn’t requested me to do something.

One factor led to a different and after a number of weeks later, the model obtained in contact with me ( by way of their PR company ) and commissioned me to color one other related brooch impressed by the gin and expressed their intentions to buy each the brooches.

To say that I used to be thrilled, is an understatement. You see, that is the primary model ever that has commissioned me to create artwork! It was like a dream come true. EPIC.

The brooches had been signed, sealed and shipped out to the model of their bins and with their Certificates of Authenticity. Listed below are some pictures of the brooches and the gin.
