Bonnie Yales of Jacksonville, FL first began to express her creativity through fiber arts. The very first project was 14 by 6 foot tapestry in Temple Isaiah in Lexington, MA. 92 people needlepointed 12 panels in a variety of stitching techniques under Bonnie’s supervision in a period of 2 years. Using this medium, she achieved an international reputation as a foremost designer of gobelin tapestry weaving, and is particularly well-known for her group projects executed in needlepoint.
Her works include wall hangings, torah mantles, ark curtains, chupahs, tallesim and other religious articles. Her work is displayed in hundreds of synagogues and institutions worldwide.

Sukkot in 51 Syllables

Solemn Yom Kippur

Is followed by joyousness

A week of Sukkot

The sukkah is up

Decorating has begun

Lulav? Etrog? Check!

We'll do some shaking

Some sitting and some eating

'Cause it's a mitzvah!

Shabbat Tapestry.

Through closed eyes, flames dance
Prayers are sent heavenward
Sabbath peace descends

Lynne Feldman grew up on Manhattan's upper west side. She attended the High School of Music and Art, New York University and has a master's degree in art education from Columbia University. Her formal art training began at the age of 12 at the Art Students League of New York where she continued to study drawing and painting there for the next 15 years.
It was not until 20 years into her career as a painter that Ms. Feldman began to explore Judaic themes in her work. What began as an expression of emotion in response to her grandparents' death became a passion, a profound need to convey Jewish culture on canvas.
Her work has been reproduced in Moment magazine and on the covers of Hadassah and Lilith and Tikkun magazines, and has been used by the United Jewish Appeal, B'nai B'rith and the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Her painting "Purim Dance", commissioned by Temple Beth David in Westwood, Massachusetts, was featured in the recently published book The Jews in America: A Treasury of Art and Literature.
Ms. Feldman's work has been shown at the Skirball Museum in Cincinnati, the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, and many galleries, universities and JCC's around the country. In 1992, she was award the simon Rockower Award for Illustration in Journalism. Ms. Feldman lives in Rochester, NY with her husband and two children.

Shabbat Shalom.

She almost got one by me

Naama Zamir is changing her style... subtly, but the diffence is there... can you see it too? And in honor of her quiet metamorphosis, a new haiku from me!

Five fingers, one soul

A hamsa hangs near my heart

To bring You closer

Hamsa Haiku

With our enemy
We share our bullets, not words
Before peace, must talk

This is a hamsa I made. If you want to see more of them, check out my flickr site. Just hit the link on the side.

Alef Haiku...

My own Haiku for an eggshell mosaic ATC (artistic trading card) that I made last week...

Beginning. Big bang.
Light, dark, sky, earth. And Heaven.
Waiting for us to come.


Be prepared for more Haiku from me... I forgot how much I like writing them...
