What You Receive

Hand-Painted Original

A one-of-a-kind watercolor, painted by hand and signed. Created on archival paper and designed to be framed and lived with.

Your Story, Preserved

Your handwritten or printed recipe is thoughtfully illustrated, preserving the character, imperfections, and meaning that make it yours.

How it works

Submit your recipe

Begin by sharing your recipe — handwritten, printed, photographed, or remembered — along with a few details about its story and significance.

Each application is personally reviewed to ensure the project is a good fit.

Planning and concept approval

Once confirmed and deposit is paid, Rebecca works with you to plan the piece, including layout, tone, and overall approach.

This is the stage where the direction is confirmed, before any painting begins.

Remainder of balance is paid upon sketch approval.

The artwork is created

After the concept is approved, the recipe is illustrated by hand in watercolor.


At this stage, the artwork is created as a finished piece, as with commissioned art.

Delivered to you

The completed artwork is packaged with care and delivered, ready to be framed, gifted, and lived with.

Testimonials...

Jamie, NY

Working with Rebecca was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. I came to her with a tight timeline to create a beautiful and meaningful birthday gift for my mother. She made it happen in record time. 
The final product exceeded my expectations. It was thoughtful, clearly crafted with care.
I have never seen my mother so happy with a gift in my 31 years of age.
