Paint A Simple Pink Owl For Lag B’Omer!
After a really relaxing and beautiful few pages in my sketchbook filled with hebrew letters, I decided to start exploring creating on top of those pages! I had seen an owl painting tutorial by Tamara Laporte, as a part of sketchbook revival 2021 (now expired, sorry) and while I didn’t follow the tutorial, as it was with water color, I did draw an owl that looks just like hers….thanks Tamara! There is such a fine line between copying someone else’s work and creating something that is truly yours, and is this case it is some of both, though for the sake of an exercise in my sketchbook, it is certainly…

Practice The Hebrew Alphabet, It Is Relaxing!
Who knew that something as simple (for those of us who speak Hebrew especially) as writing the Hebrew alphabet with a pink paint pen on painted brush stroke could be so great looking, and not to mention for some reason oh so relaxing! If you don’t know the Hebrew alphabet, just copy mine, or find a simple guide with arrows for how to write the letters. The block letters shown here are the first letters learned by children, and then a few years later, the script Hebrew alphabet, which is used for writing much more quickly, is mastered. Truthfully just writing the English alphabet in this way would probably also…

Paint An Old Shoe With Graffiti Hearts!
This has to be one of my crazier ideas, but I just couldn’t resist and it was relatively quick, so here’s to whimsical upcycled art! And while this might seem like it is coming out of left field, just a bit, this could also be a craft for Lag B’Omer, you know just in case you’ve already made more bonfires, caves, and arrows than you can bear. Because my friends, Rebbi Shimon, whom we celebrate on Lag B’Omer was all about ahavas yisrael, Jewish unity! And what more fitting than a bunch of hearts that together comprise a wonderful lively piece of well, funky decor? And honestly, who couldn’t use…

A Simple Counting The Omer Journal Page
Today is day 22 of the Omer, and I might be behind on this journal page! It is true, I embarked on a counting the omer art journal project last year, which is wonderful and so interesting, but sometimes you might just want a really really simple way to count the omer, even if you are doing something else more complicate to boot. Or not? A very simple painted pattern that you then fill in with numbers as the 49 days progress is a first for me, but I plan to do this every year, as it is just simple and gets the job done, in a creative way! And…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! The next Jewish holiday is Lag B’Omer in just two weeks and so it is time to get crafting for that. Hmmm, this year i may just have to paint the location from afar, which is actually my view, then again maybe some paper arrows or a paper bonfire will show up, we will just have to see! i am concentrating on oil pastels and finishing my counting the omer art journal started last year, because finishing and sticking to the plan is a good idea, and one that I often don’t embrace. Sigh, with my art that…

Popular Jewish Wedding Trends To Look Forward To This Year
Jewish weddings are a very big deal, regardless of whether you are orthodox, conservative or reform (or none of those) the wedding day is meaningful for the couples, for the families, and for the generations of family in the chain of history. As with any wedding a great deal of planning goes into a Jewish wedding, and many very important decisions have to be made involving everything from the bride’s attire and the extended family’s attire, to the food and music. Although Jewish weddings are steeped in tradition, decorative trends do of course make their appearance, subtly and sometimes not so subtly. After what was a very low key year…
