Description
The Song of Songs Ketubah is not a print, not a reproduction, and not something that will ever exist again in quite the same way. It is a one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn and hand-painted watercolor illumination created entirely by Mickie Caspi on archival Strathmore paper.
Every vine, every bloom, every bird is painted by hand. A circular wreath of flourishing vines and singing birds surrounds the sacred space for your vows, while biblical verses from Shir HaShirim are meticulously hand calligraphed, embracing the design with lyrical movement and intention. The calligraphy is not a digital font layered over artwork. It is done by Mickie’s own hand, line by line, with the kind of precision and care that only decades of experience can produce.
Choosing a ketubah is often the first artistic decision a couple makes together. An original like this carries weight. It requires time, focus, and Mickie’s full, undivided attention to your specific text and requests. That is why it stands apart from offset lithographs or giclée prints. This is a true original watercolor, created for you, and meant to live in your home as both sacred document and fine art.
The limited edition lithograph of this design is no longer available. This version exists only as an original painting. When it is gone, it is gone.

Mickie Caspi is an Israeli-American artist and calligrapher who has specialized in Judaica since 1980. With her husband, Eran, she founded Caspi Cards & Art in 1990; Eran took over day-to-day management so Mickie could concentrate on the art.
The studio made its name on inclusive ketubah texts. It introduced the first pre-printed interfaith text in 1993, a gender-neutral text for same-sex and straight couples in 1994, and in 2003 an all-English secular humanist text.
Mickie grew up in Highland Park, Illinois, with two artist parents, and first learned Hebrew on Kibbutz Nachshon as a child. After studying art at Columbia College Chicago, she moved to Israel in 1982 and spent seven years as a freelance artist and calligrapher on Kibbutz Harel and in Jerusalem. Her watercolor designs draw on traditional Jewish motifs, Persian and Arabic illumination, art nouveau and art deco, and, as an avid gardener, plenty of flowers and vines. ModernTribe carries her giclée ketubahs in many colorways and sizes, hand-painted original ketubahs, and her annual Jewish Art Calendar, which the studio has produced since 2000.
