Kos Miriam (Miriam's Cup)

Pesach (Passover) is just a few days away! One of my jobs now includes doing to work with the Rosh Hodesh: It's a Girl Thing! curriculum. The project that we did for this month was for each of us to make our own Kos Miriam. Put simply, this is a cup that is put on the table during a Seder (festive meal during which the story of the exodus from Egypt is retold and reenacted), to represent and remind participants of Miriam's role in the narrative.

The top of my glass features Miriam and other woman dancing with timbrels after crossing the Red Sea. The bottom is a quote from a Debbie Friedman song, "And the woman dancing with their timbrels followed Miriam as she sang her song...".

Chag Kasher V'Sameach!

Pics To Go With Previous Post

Here I am, drawing my totally awesome design.

Let the painting begin!

Craft Night, Last Night at Etsy Labs with Jen Cooke

After a couple of weeks off, I went to Etsy Labs to take a drab boring tee and turn it into a work of art. Jen Cooke from Raeburn Ink was there to show us the process, which was really very simple. We either used pre-made stencils, or made our own using wax paper. After cutting out the stencil, it should be
ironed to the shirt so it does not move while being painted.

This time I forgot to bring my camera so, I only have one pic to post at the moment. Once the "official" pictures are posted I will snag any of my work and repost.

In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have added the black honeycomb shaped stencil to my own design but I just couldn't help it.
