These are four ketubot in different styles.
The top left is a somewhat traditional illuminated tree of life painted
in acrylic paints, with a modern paper-cut boarder. Top right is a modern
styled design, painted in gouache, using a protea and rose to represent
the groom and bride (flowers were their choice). Bottom left is a very
modern style ketubah. The design is paper-cut. The pomegranate curve in
the middle creates a yin-yang symbol. Bottom right is a very traditional
design using a painted boarder of biblical quotes appropriate to marriage.
The circle boarder is made in paper-cut. The Hebrew there are the names
of the bride and groom.
