I finally have some images to share of the Ketubah that I created for a friends wedding this past fall. The text is surrounded by acrylic painting and has a resin finish. (resin was applied after the bride and groom signed on their wedding day)
A Ketubah is The Jewish Marriage Contract, and is a tradition in Jewish wedding customs and in Jewish history. The Art of the Ketubah entails a unique document known as a marriage contract that outlines marital responsibilities and, at the same time, is set into an artful background.
The ketubah is signed by two witnesses and traditionally read out loud under the chuppah. Close family friends or distant relatives are invited to witness the ketubah, which is considered an honor. I couldn't have been more excited to be such an integral part of this very special day, and was my most intimate and personal commission yet.
