Preacher's Daughter Collection, continued...

I have a few more pieces to offer before I start stocking up on them for the Lavender Festival next month.


The following is an explanation of how these came to be:

It didn't take me long to come up with a title for this collection, Preacher's Daughter. I was born a preacher's daughter. I don't know how soon, but I'm sure Mama and Daddy took me to church not many days after I was born. As far back as I can remember, going to church was part of my life.


Each time I sketch a church on a page, I think back to the old country churches we visited when I was a little girl. Daddy was a country preacher, pastored several churches during his lifetime, and held many revivals in the rural areas of middle and east Tennessee where we lived. He played the guitar and he and Mama sang together. They loved the Lord and wanted others to know of His goodness, mercy, and love.


I still attend a little country church. It's where my husband I were married more than thirty years ago. It's where our children grew up hearing the preached Word and learning more and more about Jesus. And now, with our little granddaughter, a third generation of our family will sing hymns and learn about God's love in that same country church.


Most of the pages used for this collection are from the actual song books we sang from in church. When the decades of use have frayed the covers and caused the spines to set the pages free, the books have been set aside and replaced with new ones. That's when I get them and the pages are born again, sharing their message with folks who want to give them a home.


These are the original pages from a 1951 book, not photocopies.

The art is original, sketched in ink and charcoal directly over the hymn.

The wood plaque is painted black and a matte finish is applied to the art and plaque.


Each plaque is approximately 8 3/4" x 11 1/2".

A sawtooth hanger is attached to the back for hanging.


PRICE: $30 plus $7 shipping in the U.S.

The Preacher's Daughter Collection: original sketches on vintage hymnal pages

It didn't take me long to come up with a title for this collection, Preacher's Daughter. I was born a preacher's daughter. I don't know how soon, but I'm sure Mama and Daddy took me to church not many days after I was born. As far back as I can remember, going to church was part of my life.

Each listing will have the titles of the songs on the page, and the copyright year of the song, if shown.
