To open a book is to open your mind...

Get ready for a retro rewind with a fresh take on library due date cards! I'm bringing back the charm of old-school paper with a collection of original watercolor and ink art, honoring the hushed magic of libraries. 

The image of an aged, sepia-toned due-date card is rendered in rich golden yellow watercolor, with inked lines for author and title. The hand-painted message is a perfect motto for book lovers everywhere.

Framed with a black, bevel-cut mat, the total size of this large pretty clever original piece is 11x14, with the image painted within an 8x10 space on 140 lb, cold pressed watercolor paper.

Image 2 is smaller, with a 4x4 image matted in white, for a square 8x8 piece.

I struck gold with my first library card..it was my escape, my solace, my portal into wisdom and amusement and knowledge. 

Words are my secret weapon. They have the power to tickle your funny bone, sweep you off your feet, ignite your passion, or give you a pep talk, and I struck gold with my first library card. The library was my escape, my solace, my portal into wisdom and amusement and knowledge. I am so happy to present this collection honoring these magic places!
