my true life began when I got my library card - library card original hoop art

My life truly kicked into gear when I laid hands on my first library card. It was like a key to a world where words are the main characters - they can make you laugh, they can make you cry, they can inspire you and they can comfort you.

I've decided to turn this love for words into an art project - reinventing library cards and injecting them with a fresh dose of fun and joy.

This piece is a trip down memory lane, featuring the kind of library card you'd find glued to the front of a book back in the good old days. It's brought to life with a vibrant watercolor wash in a vintage yellow shade, all on a creamy canvas, and finished with inked lines. The bold black vinyl letters are a shout-out to the world, making this hoop art piece a real scene-stealer.

But this isn't your typical watercolor - it's done on fabric, not paper! The canvas has been brushed with watercolors and detailed with inks and stitching, and it's made from a triple layer of fabric, including fusible fleece, which gives it extra texture and dimension. Plus, it's two-sided, with a pretty fabric on the back.

One of a kind pieces, each with various and uniquely painted nuances!

Each hoop is a neat 6 inches in diameter and comes with a ribbon loop for hanging. If you'd rather, you can just hook it over a nail, or let it casually lean on a shelf or snuggle between books. It's all about being flexible!
