I start with the most luscious fabrics I can find, combine them with wonderful ribbons, trims and braids, sew them into Tallitot (prayer shawls), Torah mantles, chupot, or other Judaic textiles, and enhance them with painted or appliquéd calligraphic texts. All these elements seem to transcend themselves and form a whole that imbues a spiritual quality. I am blessed and constantly amazed that the work of my hands allows others to feel more fully of their Jewish selves. I am deeply thankful that what I absolutely love creating is coveted by others.
