Borei Pri Hagafen

Borei Pri Hagafen
borei

This translates as “creator of the fruit of the vine” and is part of the blessing said over wine.  The background was inspired by a book on Chinese lattice designs, by Daniel Sheets Dye.  Then the grapevine was draped around it.  Each grape is a separate roll of quilling paper, and each leaf is made of four different pieces.  The Hebrew letters are also quilled.

This was the first piece of Judaic quilling that I ever made, and it set the direction for all of my work since then.
