Give me a POM, Give me another POM

Has anyone noticed that I have a thing for pomegranates...

These POM POM Pomegranates are the creation of Abby from Cincinnati.

Why are pomegranates so symbolic in Judaism? Because they are said to contain 613 seeds- the number of commandments. Recently I was asked (1) do I know all 613 commandments and (2) do I follow them. The answer to both questions to both was NO. How about you? Do you know all of them? They are listed here.

I have found that there are a lot of people who don't even know the top ten... Why don't you ask your friends?

Stop coveting!

The final of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."

I think in our very commercialized, very material society this may be the most difficult of the commandments for many to keep. Keeping up with the Joneses or with the Goldbergs can be all consuming for some.

I am not going to make it easier for some of you- especially if you love polymer clay cane. The cane work on these is just phenomenal. Take a look at these truly beautiful polymer clay hamsot.


First, a pair from Roni Gur




















And another pair from Naama Zamir from Zichron Yaacov, Israel who invites you to visit her website.That is her hamsa at the top as well.



















If you look at this link on Naama's website you will find out more about making canes and other wonderful pc. In short order, I will be bringing you more from Naama-one of the many women whose talent I so covet.
