A marmot, a cat, a very cool Canadian couple ... and their Touch Wood Rings



In March of this year, Dawn and James contacted us to inquire about Touch Wood Rings for their wedding rings.  Upon their return from a trip to South Africa, we discussed designs and woods and tapers and that kind of thing... and in May David got to work creating their rings.

  
          In mid June, when they received their rings, Dawn wrote ....

We wanted to let you know that we received our rings and they are absolutely stunning! They both fit perfectly.  We're still puzzled at how David exactly does what he does and how he does it so well! The rings are incredibly light in weight and so vibrant in colour and tone.  We'll be sure to send you photos of them (and us on the sidelines!) at our wedding.  

Truly, thank you both for making such beautiful rings, and for making the process very easy for us!  
I think it has been one of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning!

Take care and we'll be in touch soon! 

           James and Dawn celebrated their wedding in August and although their beloved pets weren't at the ceremony ( how do you include a cat and a marmot??) I wanted to share these two beautiful photos that Dawn shared with us in June.  Mu is their sweet kitty and Herman, as Dawn explained,  is a little Vancouver Island Marmot that she raised after he was rejected by his mother for being too small and not growing normally.  He's less than a year old in this picture, but is almost 4 years old now. (What a sweetie!!)

Earlier this month we heard from Dawn and James again with those promised wedding pics!!  Beautiful!


Dawn writes:  We wanted to send along some photos from our wedding that your rings played a major part in!  Everything went very well and any glitch was barely noticed or didn't matter.  There was so much colour, the rings were a perfect complement!  We've had many people admire our rings and think the whole concept is awesome.  We've even passed on your website address to more than a few!  

Thank you again so much to both you and David! We're both still very much in love with what you made us.





It's heartwarming to see our work being worn with love by two people so obviously in love.  Thanks so much to you both Dawn and James.  What an absolute pleasure it's been working with you!  And love to your sweet critters too!  We're pretty partial to Marmots on the meadow.
