Entering the World of the Paper Cut

In the Fall of 2016, I was commissioned to create an original Ketubah for a young couple in Israel. The bride and groom asked me if I could design a paper cut Ketubah for their wedding. I had created many Ketubahs (illuminated marriage contracts), and had also created pieces of art in the style of a paper cut before. I had seen and admired many paper cuts, but had never actually created one myself. So I said, yes, of course I could design a paper cut Ketubah for them. Then I set out to learn how. My design process was the same as for anyRead More →

Route To Success Local women entrepreneurs grow their businesses through technology. It’s well documented that there is a dearth of entrepreneurial women in leadership positions in the technology industry. At tech conferences, there are long lines for the men’s restrooms, with uncharacteristically short lines at the women’s. Beyond Marissa Mayer at Yahoo and Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, most people would struggle to name other women running tech companies. Camp Inc., a new summer camp in the Rocky Mountains focusing on entrepreneurship and technology, finds it challenging to recruit teenage girls for its second summer, despite significant scholarship grants specifically for female campers.

Many people choose to commission an original Ketub Many people choose to commission an original Ketubah – a Jewish wedding contract. If you are planning a Ketubah, the process would begin with our meeting by phone or in person. We will discuss ideas, places, dreams and other things that are important to the couple. We talk about colors, shapes and images, as well as quotes, and elements that are meaningful. From these thoughts and from sketches I make as we talk, the basic layout, or design begins to unfold. Together, we will come up with a plan for the Ketubah you truly want.

We will also discuss text options – such as the version of the text being used, and whether you prefer Hebrew only, or English as well. Shape of the text as well as the number of signatures needed is also important.

After we have spoken, I will come up with a rough sketch or two for approval. We will use these sketches to work towards creating the exact piece you are hoping for to reflect the marriage. After the rough sketch is approved, I sharpen the image using colored pencils within a tightened line drawing. At this point, I would need all information related to filling in the text.

I can also enhance your piece with gold illumination using either metallic gold ink or 23K gold leaf. When completed, it will be shipped or delivered to you with a mat, unless agreed to otherwise.

Do you love nature? This is an original Ketubah, p Do you love nature? This is an original Ketubah, painted in Bombay India Inks and Metallic Gold Ink. The bride and groom share a connection to nature; trees, the woods, flowing water; and they sent photos of some of their favorite hiking spots. I have shown them here silhouetted in the tress, from a photo right before he proposed.

Getting married soon? Let me design a Ketubah for Getting married soon? Let me design a Ketubah for you.

This is an original Ketubah, painted in Bombay India Inks with metallic gold ink illumination.

Grapevines climb up both sides of this Ketubah text framed by a floral border. They weave around the poles of a Chuppah created out of a honeycomb with active bees.

The Jerusalem image with the Lions of Judah in the top center oval, has their Hebrew names in gold ink on either side.

“Ani L’Dodi V’Dodi Li” / “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine” is at the base above the grapevine ‘roots’.

This piece is for display only.
