Tulip Fraktur

No King But Jesus Fraktur

I sent this out as my email Christmas Card this year. Got great response from customers and friends. Some printed it out, framed it and hung it on their walls. Others asked to use it as their Christmas card and others told me that they reduced the size,  printed it out and hung it as an ornament on their tree. Wonderful to create something that people enjoy.

Fraktur Examples made during Pennsylvania German Design class

Here are some frakturs and a scraffito plate that I worked on during the recent  Pennsylvania German Design class at the Arms Making Workshop at Conner Prairie. In addition to teaching fraktur and making several examples, I actually completed the scraffito of four plates during the class. Jim Pease assisted me during the Paper Arts class where we taught Pennsylvania German Fraktur. Larry Gillam, the chief potter at Conner, taught the Redware Scraffito class. Great time! If you've never attended the Arms Making Workshop you should check into it.

Drayton Hall: Haunted Plantation

Based on Drayton Hall Plantation located in the “Low Country” near Charleston, North Carolina

Drayton Hall was built for John Drayton. Construction begun in 1738 (George Washington was 6 years old) and completed in 1742. (A year before Thomas Jefferson was born and 25 years before Jefferson began construction on Monticello) Drayton Hall is still standing today. It is said that it is haunted. In 1779 the British army arrived at Drayton Hall. In anticipation of their arrival, and the destruction they wrought, John and his family packed what they could and left. While crossing the west branch of the Cooper River at Strawberry Ferry, John suffered a seizure, died, and was buried in an unmarked grave.

The watercolor painting on this old book cover depicts the palladian mansion and some of the ghosts whose spirits might dwell there. It has been drawn and written over in graphite showing a masonic square and compass, a crown and several spiritual beings. Also penciled in is the notation, Great hall built by John Drayton. Construction began in 1738. Drayton Hall was completed in the year of our Lord 1742. Underneath the words John Drayton, B. 1715, D. 1779. in the upper right corner, are listed John’s four wives. His first wife Sarah Cattell, the daughter of a neighboring plantation owner; she and their two children died before 1740. In 1741 John Drayton married Charlotta Bull, daughter of South Carolina's Lt. Royal Governor William Bull. Charlotta died in 1743. In 1752, John married Margaret Glen, the sister of James Glen, the Royal Governor. Margaret died 20 years later in 1772. In 1775, John married Rebecca Perry, the 17-year old daughter of a neighboring plantation owner.
