So, the call went something like this: Stressed Out Bride: "Ummm, Hi, MP Artworks? My name is Stressed Out Bride. We ordered our ketubah from you. We got it weeks ago and it was gorgeous, just beautiful, but there's a problem." MP Artworks: "Problem? What can we do for you?" Stressed Out Bride:"Well, my fiance and I are getting married in France, and we just got here and noticed that we don't

There are more and more interfaith couples getting married every day, where one partner is Jewish and the other is not. Often times, the Jewish partner wants to incorporate the Jewish traditions into the wedding, even if they do not have the exact significance in an interfaith context. The ketubah is one such item. OK, so technically it may not be considered a "ketubah" by many, but an

OK, so you say you're just tired of all the traditional ketubah art, that you can't find a ketubah that doesn't look like a 70's stained glass window? We gotcha covered! Check out these new pieces from Michelle Dwyer. There are 3 new ketubah pieces, each in several color variations, and I think they just so beautifully combine whimsical beauty with romance. Not sugar-sticky, soap opera romance,

At the end of February, MP Artworks held its annual office party (yes, we hold ours in February - actually, it's usually in January - we just like to be absolutely clear it's not a Xmas party but just an annual office-fest!) and we decided to do something different.  Now, there's just a few of us at the office - Micah and me, Esta (our General Manager and overall "Quarterback"), KC (or as we call

We are really excited to introduce our newest ketuba artist, Doris Katz. Doris was a big Mark Rothko fan and painted in his iconic style of large, transcendent fields of color. These palettes form the background against which the ketubah text is laid. They are beautiful on their own (available as fine art, coming soon!) and of course when a Doris Katz ketubah graces the walls, it will add

Yes, we're goin' green, finally! Really, I can't believe we haven't done this before, because personally Micah and I are quite eco-conscious. We share one car, try to walk or bike when we can, recycle like mad and try not to use in the first place when we can (ya know the drill, reusable shopping bags, turning off electronics completely when not in use, etc.). But somehow at work, we just

I'm sure you're wondering if we fell off the face of the internet. Well, not quite. What really happened was that our Marketing Director, Alison L Roberts, left us for her dream job in Iowa. Yes, Iowa! Not that there's anything wrong with Iowa, but we all wondered what this dream job could be? What could be better than helping amazing couples find the ketubah or chuppah that will make their

The wild and crazy weather conditions of the last few months haven’t really affected us (so far), but they have affected a number of our clients. One client was to have been married in New Orleans, and her ketubah was pretty far along in the production process. Then Katrina hit. We noted her location, flagged her ketubah and checked in with her. Long story short, she let us know her alternate
