Gifts for Bar and Bat Mitzvah!

 

This first set was created for a wonderful student who picked out tallit with a number of geometric patterns. His request was for me to create a geometric shape that fit in with one of the designs on his tallit but toss in a little bling.  This is the one he selected. Clips and a gold chain were added after the photograph was taken.         

 

Another of my students commissioned a tallit from a local silk painter (Diane Fredgant!) His vision was a rainforest. For clips he was hoping for a parrot. The parrot was a failure on my end! It was just too heavy because of all the colors. I offered a frog, did some research and fell in love with the re-bug-eyed frog and simulated it for his clips. 

My final Bat Mitzvah student of the summer ordered a lovely tallit with blue pomegranates and song birds. She asked for song birds....she selected the white set.

It's time to take a break now from tallit clips and get serious about some other art.

Next week I will begin talking about my latest project which will be revealed September 13th.

As always....stay tuned!
