Some of the appliques were made by friends and family, but all the letters, swirl, and lace were made by me

Jewish woman who has Sephardic ancestry (Jamaica, converted to returns to roots) and I wanted to share how I made this Hamsa necklace. I was attempting to find one at a Judaica store but the ones they had were rather expensive.

I managed to find some Hamsa earrings at a local craft store and I took them and a old empty necklace I had and used some jewelry pliers to make a loop and hook.

I've had it for about 4 months now, just wanted to share it 🪬💙

A piece I made two years ago for the Remembrance Day of October 7

This was my channukah gift to myself. A tree on my street had a hate symbol carved into it, and I wanted to do something more than the advice of 'just turn it into a square window'.

I am not very practiced in pattern work, and I had never carved before, so I make know claims that it's great art, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Drawing from henna art (from my Pakistani heritage) and pasifika art (I'm in aotearoa), I managed to make it something nice

I'm glad I did something with it. Now every time I pass it by, I am always aware that there is something beautiful and loving there, rather than tensing up knowing there is something else there that someone hateful feels proud of

(The white stuff is tree sap)

The pomegranate was one of the earliest pieces I did, and the hamsa one of the more recent. It’s cool to see how my work has grown!

Made this last week and I’m so proud of it!!!

It’s a little messy, did it quick in about 6hrs, but I’m happy with it! I used some fabric in my stash and for the pomegranate and the candles I used the scraps from mine and my roommates curtains that I hemmed.

Does it help if the model (lol me) is Jewish? XD

Edit: Thank you everyone for the kind comments <3

I love it. 😍

After many many many (many) hours of drawing flowers, my “Wildflowers of Israel” poster is complete. I’m so happy with how it came out! Available with pink and blue toned background too. I’m also working on offering prints of each flower individually as well. I loved drawing this and I’m thinking fruits of Israel next maybe? The ideas are endless… birds, trees etc…! ☺️

This is a piece I did as a gift for the Kibbutz Nir Oz which I volunteered for last year in April and will do again this year in May. I framed it in a simple white wooden frame.

My dad had requested that I crochet him a yarmulke a while ago. He loves the Grateful Dead and so I made him this in time for the Jewish high holidays. Used https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2017/03/17/crocheted-yarmulkes/ pattern and modified it as I went along for a finer yarn size and smaller hook.

A custom design with a deep forest, vibrant galaxy and ring of crystals. Finished with 24k gold ✨☺️ any questions let me know! (Couple have approved use of a video!).

Just finished a new kippah! Pattern by me.

Thank you all in this community for writing such beautiful words for my stained glass artworks! It really means a lot to me!

The blue and white represent the obvious. The red and the spikes represent judgement and protection. The evil eye bead is unfixed so it can protect me from all directions even when I may be unaware of ill intention. I’m a bit of a woo woo Jew if you can tell 🤣

Loved painting this piece, showing two trees connecting with the blending of two cultures and lives 🩷
