One-of-a-Kind Handmade Journaling Card
This handmade mixed media journaling card features an image of a remarkable late-1700s hand-painted family record attributed to William Murray, filled with colorful folk-art details, hearts, flowers, and the names and dates of a real family from more than 200 years ago.
The image was originally found in an auction advertisement in Maine Antique Digest. I loved the idea of taking this tiny printed piece of history and giving it a new life as part of a one-of-a-kind piece of usable art.
With its Pennsylvania German-inspired folk-art appearance and centuries-old family history, this card is perfect for anyone who loves genealogy, historical ephemera, antique documents, folk art, or vintage paper.
