NEW POUCHES - inspired by spring





Where does Inspiration come from? From the Greek muses? Maybe... I never met them though, but I am sure true artists get visited by them often. Oh hello Thalia! How are you Clio! Thanks for coming Erato! Let me hear what you have to say to me...

I think there are many ways to get inspired. An idea may come in the shower, or at a concert, perhaps in a dream, in the wee hours of dawn, while reading, or talking to a friend or a stranger, from a movie scene, a walk in the city, a night sky... Most definitely NATURE is very inspirational. The view of a particular landscape may trigger a great artwork or a creative craft.


Flowering spring meadows did it lately for me. After seeing the outburst of greens and flowers at the Jordan Valley some weeks ago, and the colorful carpets covering the hills of the Golan Heights, I remembered a basket full of treasures I had for a long time. There were pieces of old lace, short cuts of flower ribbons, tiny remnants of woven fabric from Peru and Guatemala, and small scraps of Bedouin and other embroidery with flower motives. So I made lovely pouches, each one different and each one with some kind of flowers on it, embellished with lace and ribbons, and adorned with a beaded zipper pull, and real leather grips.

BEAUTIFUL SPRING IN ISRAEL - Golan Heights


Spring is in full swing here in Israel. The results of so much rain we had so far this year are overwhelming and nature shows its full glory.
These photos are from a trip to the Golan Heights some days ago. The mats of the hills are covered with flower carpets in many colors.

Brooks and Wadis which are dry the remaining of the year are flowing lovely with fresh bubbling water.















Sea of Galilea (Kinnereth) and Tiberias


This is the time to go out as much as possible, just to get filled up with so much beauty and serenety...
