NEW DESIGN! RECORD OF MARRIAGE FRAKTUR

Personalized, Hand water colored and unframed $49
I have added a new design to my RECORDS OF MARRIAGE Frakturs in addition to my current designs. This RECORD OF MARRIAGE FRAKTUR is 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.

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.

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.
