A blog, mostly about my work making Jewish ritual objects, but with detours into garment making, living in New York City, cooking, and other aspects of domestic life. A note about comments: I love comments from readers, from spammers, not so much. I approve comments before posting them so comments are not cluttered with junk. It may take a few hours before your posts appear. Be patient. If you are a real person with a real comment it will be posted.
Thanks for the tutorial, Sarah. I purchased some Shiva paint sticks a few months back at the Sewing Expo and I'm looking forward to playing with them soon!
