These cards feature an origami Mogen David or two in a variety of designs and colors, and are blank inside. They are all  4 x 5 1/2 , and each comes with a color coordinated envelope.  Available colors and designs will vary, as I rarely make more than a handful that are identical.  You can order them on the “Novelties” page

In keeping with the mitzvah of “comforting the mourners”, I am providing single cards free upon request.  That way, we both fulfill the mitzvah. Designs will vary, but you may specify whether you need something suitable for a male or a female.  However, if you wish to “stock up”, the usual fee of 4 for $16 applies, with complementary shipping.

It has an artist’s statement!

It has this blog!

You can buy stuff! 

And you can send me your comments!

The site is designed and maintained by my husband, Ed Haskell, using WordPress open code.  Now I can add many more pictures of my work in different areas of the decorative arts, and I can write about how some pieces came into being, and the materials or techniques used.

You can send me a message directly via the boxes at the bottom of the “Artist’s Life” page.  Let me know what you think of this website, of my artwork, and how you are doing.  If you would like to be on my email list, please sign up there, because I occasionally send out emails about special events.  (I am also happy to send real US mail if requested.)

Check back often to see my newest work, upcoming shows, and important events.

Thanks for visiting!

This depicts the three pilgrim festivals, or “shelosh regalim” . Passover is symbolized by Moses in the bullrushes, Shavuot is when the Torah was received at Mt Sinai, and for Sukkot, a booth or sukkah is constructed.  On all three festivals, it was the custom to travel to Jerusalem to worship at the temple there.  Different harvests were also celebrated at these times.

The Goddess of Electricity

This statue, dedicated to Marconi, stands in Washington, DC.  It belongs to the National Park Service, and had become very worn and lost the original gilding.  As a community service project, the Society of Gilders worked together to gild the entire memorial anew.  We donated our time and labor.  Here are several views, before and after.  Most photos by Michael Kramer of the Gilders Studio.  That’s me, up on the scaffolding.

This is the chuppah I made when Ed and I married.  It has the Hebrew words “The voice of joy, the voice of gladness”.  I chose the white fabric because it is translucent, and let the light through.  The green border matched my gown!

Artist of the Month

This October, I was the “Artist of the Month” at the Sandel Senior Center in Rockville Centre, NY.  I gave a talk on my work and everyone was very interested.  It is a very nice location and they have many activities going on.  Here is a picture Ed took.
