Fused Heart – Dove of Peace Hamsa

I created this fused heart a while ago from some scrap red and clear glass.

Then I thought how perfectly it might look in this Dove of Peace Hamsa.

Do you agree? Let me know.

Yet Another Dove!

Do we like the Dove facing East? Or West?

Clear? Or iridescent?

Gotta’ Give ‘Em Credit…

My last post was posted on the eve of the annual UM-OSU game.

The pregame talk was that THIS was going to be The Year.

Well, it didn’t turn out that way – Again.

There’s always next year — Right?

Don’t you think it’s finally our turn? Can Harbaugh make it happen?

We’ll find out soon….

Chuppah Glass Repurposed – Maya and Eli

If you attend a Jewish wedding, grab the glass broken

under the chuppah and get it to me –

and we can work together to create a one of a kind gift.

Maya and Eli’s Ketuvah featured waves of water.

I worked to continue that theme.

Please click on the video to watch how it was created.

AHAVA -Love with Beveled Magen David

I’ve created a number of pieces with Beveled Glass but I’ve decided to include a video of this piece.

The life this brings to the piece is stunning.

Temple Kol Haverim has chosen to beautify their building with this piece of stained glass artwork. It will soon be hung over the main entrance of the temple.

I would like to thank the Kol Haverim community for reaching out to me and choosing this piece as a statement of their beliefs.

Nahalal – Ann Arbor’s Sister “Moshav”

Nahalal is a Moshav in Israel and is the “Sister City” of the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor. A group of women recently traveled to Nahalal and commissioned me to create a piece of art to present to the Moshav.

Above is the finished piece; below is an aerial view of the Moshav. Note the fields radiating out from the central living space. I also wanted to include my initial sketch (minus the iconic water tower that needed to be included!)

The Boston Red Sox – The Green Monster

download

There might be some who question why I framed my Boston Red Sox logo in green. Others will immediately see the connection to The Green Monster.

The Green Monster is a popular nickname for the 37.2 feet (11.3 m) high left field wall at Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox baseball team. The wall is 310 feet from home plate and is a popular target for right-handed hitters.

At the moment this piece is hanging in Rob Dobrusin’s office at Congregation Beth Israel in Ann Arbor. I’m happy to have had it hanging for opening day, 2018.

Y’hi Ohr — Let There Be Light!

Once again I found a piece of glass that inspired me to recreate

the Y’hi Ohr pattern.

The background depicts the primordial soup of creation,

Biblical or Big Bang —

You choose.

Having sold my Iconic Y’hi Ohr Piece,

it was time to update the concept with a modern font.

Shalom — Dove Of Peace

This is the second time I have used the pattern I designed.

The border is different and brings some additional light

to the art piece.

While there still a few leaves on the trees, I’m focusing on pieces that help me hold onto a little bit of summer – thus the Butterfly.

Mira and Doron Celebrate Life!

Each Piece of fused glass in this mobile represents the Birthstone of a Special Month in Mira and Doron’s lives.

Doron’s birthday and Mira and Doron’s Wedding in September is the beautiful Sapphire.

Peridot is Matan’s birthstone for August.

Mira’s birthday is in June represented by Alexandrite. These gemstones are extremely rare and desirable since they change color based on the lighting.

Shai’s birthday in March is celebrated by the Aquamarine.

And finally there’s Judah, whose November birthstone is Topaz!

All the pieces are hand etched in Hebrew.

The Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor

My children attended, and now my grandchildren attend the HDS.

I created this piece of stained glass art using the school’s logo.

I’m looking forward to sharing it with the community at the JCC in Ann Arbor.

SOLLY ! !

In keeping with the tradition I started with the other “South Side Gang” celebration, here is my interpretation of “Solly”.

The first photo is of the corner of Solly’s tallit. The rainbow motif moved me to use it as a background for the Shlomo, Solly’s Hebrew name.

Mazal Tov Solly !

Giliah !

Below is the graphic from the invitation to Giliah’s Bat Mitzvah celebration. I love transforming inspirational graphic images into pieces of Stained Glass Art.

And I have the most fun by including the iridescence visible only after dark.

Tzedek – Work for Justice, Day and Night!

In these post-election times, it’s incumbent for All to work for Justice

both Day — and Night.

This piece appears quite different in the light of day

— as contrasted with the darkness of night.
