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!

Dad loved it!

Got this as a gift for my dad, who watches the movie every year - he promptly hung it up on the tree next to his camper ornament and kept chuckling at it the rest of the night.

Perfect!

The recipient of this gift loved this only a bit less than her daughters, who have both picked up the copy as a meme for her. The piece is unique and attractive, and I’m assured it will be prominently displayed.

Great Gift!

I bought this quite appropriate gift for my daughters 22nd Birthday. She had just signed the lease on her very first Apartment. She laughed so hard and can't wait to hang it when she moves in September!
