Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence

What? I said in a way you can only really speak to your sister. A wine-themed celebration plate for @definewine featuring six cats, four birds, his whole family, the shop-cum-restaurant, and a fish? Well, hold my Riesling; this commission sounds right up my vineyard.

I must admit, the thrill of doing my first XL Emma Bridgewater platter was a little intoxicating (in a good way). The noble rotter in me soon got stuck in. The balance of business and personal achievements blended to build an artist’s interpretation of @definejon’s life.

The Artistic Process

Creating this platter was a journey. I wanted to capture the essence of Define Wine and its vibrant community. Each element on the plate tells a story. The six cats represent the playful spirit of the family, while the four birds symbolize freedom and joy. The inclusion of the shop-cum-restaurant highlights the heart of the business.

My small homage to Ralph Stedman (from his glorious Oddbins days) is the red wine sloshing wildly into an oversized glass. It’s a nod to the fun and lively atmosphere that Define Wine embodies.

A Personal Touch

Congratulations on 25 years of Define excellence, Jon. I’m glad I could be part of your celebrations in some small way. This platter is more than just a piece of art; it’s a celebration of relationships, memories, and shared experiences.

The Importance of Personalised Gifts

Personalised gifts hold a special place in our hearts. They show thoughtfulness and care. When you give a gift that reflects the recipient's personality, it becomes more than just an object; it becomes a cherished memory. This wine-themed platter is a perfect example of how art can encapsulate personal stories.

Why Choose a Custom Gift?

Custom gifts like this platter are unique. They stand out in a world filled with generic presents. When you choose a custom piece, you’re investing in something that has meaning. It’s a way to celebrate milestones, achievements, and relationships.

Conclusion

In conclusion, creating this wine-themed celebration plate for Define Wine was a delightful experience. It allowed me to blend my artistic skills with a personal touch. Here’s to many more years of excellence and creativity. Cheers!
