Quilled Ketubah
This past fall I quilled a Jewish/interfaith marriage ketubah for a couple whose wedding took place in early December. The bride and I worked our way through the enjoyable steps of planning the design and selecting paper colors throughout the summer months.
The design was my interpretation of a monogram that Texas calligrapher Tara Jones created for the couple's wedding stationery. Tara lettered the warm white ketubah in a flowing, modern script.
The wedding color palette was smoke gray and pale blue, so I used two shades of gray quilling paper - actually silver and charcoal - along with blue-gray.
The 22" x 30" ketubah was signed at the wedding, and will be framed and placed on display in the couple's home to remind them daily of their vows and responsibilities to one another.
