RECORDS OF MARRIAGE & BIRTH FRAKTUR a wonderful way to remember the best moments of life! Great for anniversaries, weddings, new births and birthdays. 
A blend of original art and personalized sentiments.

In early America, these announcements featured primitive drawings of angels, birds, flowers, hearts, etc. The resulting Early American Folk Art art or Fraktur was often the record of a family's history. These items were hung on walls, pasted inside trunks and passed on from generation to generation.
  
You provide the details to create a wonderful keepsake, Each one is personalized with the information that you send.  I then combine your information with the fraktur art, print it on a heavy stock paper and then hand watercolor each one individually. Size: 8 1/2 x 11”. Can fit an  8 1/2 x 11” document frame or can be cropped to 
fit into an 8” x 10” frame.

If you'd like a RECORD OF MARRIAGE, just send me the name of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding. For RECORD OF BIRTH, I need the name of the child, sex, date of birth and the mother and father's name.  If they are a Mr. and Mrs., let me know. Otherwise just give me their names. 



I accept checks or money orders. Sorry I can also accept PayPal. Email me for my address. kenscottart@att.net

Note: I offer a 100% mistake free guarantee that you'll never have to worry that your Record of Marriage or Birth will come back with spelling mistakes or omission errors. But if that occurs just let  me know. If the mistake was my fault,  I'll replace your Record at no extra charge.
