A vibrant raw silk shawl in fuchsia
and soft cobalt blue was
made into a tallit for a bat mitzvah
girl. To add weight and body,
we used two identical shawls and I
custom dyed a knotted fringe to
match the blue. The atarah was
stitched on coordinating fuchsia
silk with the blessing "I Am that I
Am" from Exodus stitched on one side
and a gentle scroll (all done in
silver metallic thread) and music
notes in black on the other.
The four corners have a modern Star
of David in the blue thread on
fuchsia with the words "l'dor v'dor"
below (from generation to
generation) stitched in silver
metallic.
There is a matching silk kippah and
bag. The quote on the back of
the bag reads: "Do not go where the
path may lead; go instead where
there is no path and leave a trail."
from Ralph Waldo Emerson. |
