Day 2, Reykjavík -> Seljalandsfoss -> Skógafoss-> vík
The second day after rest. we have been driving on Iceland's Highway 1, all the way east.
The bride wore a white veil-----Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss is a beautiful bride wearing a white veil, veil blowing, dream like magic.
How lucky we are, witnessed two small wedding held in front of the waterfall in one day. One in an afternoon, and the other at midnight. It's a wedding, not the wedding photographs. Master of ceremonies have friends even after the ceremony buffet, spend a lifetime oath at the foot of a waterfall promise heaven and earth to witness, beautiful and romantic.
You can also go to the back of "veil", in the midnight sky through the mist, appreciate slight reddening sky. this is the other beauty of Seljalandsfoss
trickles along the creek all the way towards the west of Seljalandsfoss, then we reach purdah Gljúfurárfoss. it's not as big as Seljalandsfoss, but we could go more closer, so you could fell the strong of the water fall.
Beside Highway 1, there are cute little houses, suddenly we have the feeling of went through hobbit home. Small house formerly used to store the milk cans. milk collection vehicles can't arrive in time oftently due to the snowstorm punctual. So milk was stored temporarily in the this small houses. These small house with stones erected seats, for people waiting for the bus, this could prevend from rain and snows. that's big help. do you think so?

This coin is as a gift for people attending their wedding. So it goes with a thank you card. They want a velvet box too. So that it’s well packed. But the time is limited, so that we made the coins for them only. That’s not as perfect as we expected.
Let’s see how we made this coin for Hasif and Arshiya.
They sent the inquiry, it’s quite a long instruction. See bellow.
Actually they had already know about what kind of coin they want. And send full instruction, so that we could design the coins for them they easily.
And they are urgently need it. We don’t have enough time, as usually, we could finish the coin for client in about 10-15day after artwork confirmed. We need fews days to finish the artwork. The time for artwork depends on the communication between client and us. Sometimes, we could finish the artwork in one day. but some times, client want changes on it, we need to communication many times, so it take times. So that we have to confirm with them before making the artwork.
Fatima confirm the time. So that we go ahead with the designs quickly. Here is the first artwork we made. Because we don’t know which picture they had chosen. So that we use a picture for the artwork, which they came back to us they want the other one.
They firstly want a stone on the coin, like what we done for our stock coin as bellow. But finally, they want to control the cost. So that they deleted the stone. And we come to agreement for the last revised on the coin. And they confirm the artwork quick.
