Hand-written Quotes and Embellishments
This ketubah print of After the Kiss was hand-worked with silver and gold embellishments. The text and quote were hand-written and Nishima added silver and gold paint to the design.
Fancy Letters for Quotes:
- Nishima created her own Calligraphy font in Hebrew and English using Chinese brush and ink. To create a custom design (your own creative combination of words and art), only $50 ($35 for the quote and $15 for the Calligraphy, includes a proof), so we can put together the letters and choose just the right colors and textures for the words.
- These raised letters are laser burned from thin birch plywood that has been hand-collaged with art papers. These can be added to works on canvas (see below) or art attached to birch wood. Allow several weeks for a custom order. Please contact us to place your order.
