JFS Mosaic Celebration – Ann Arbor

The mosaic is a metaphor for the development and growth of Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County, where many different services, events, experiences and partnerships combine to create the exquisite, one-of a kind masterpiece we call JFS.

The JFS of Washtenaw County held a major fundraising event to celebrate the purchase of a Permanent Home in Ann Arbor. A huge Mazal Tov to all involved.

My interpretation of the Mosaic Logo.

My 3 pieces using the Mosaic Logo as a pattern.

– – – – – AHAVA – LOVE – – – – –

Here’s my take on the classic L-O-V-E picece often seen in public sites. I’ve placed the beveled iridescent Magain David for dramatic effect. What do you think?

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.

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.

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.

AHAVAH — LOVE !

 

I took The Iconic LOVE Piece ( I obviously used the iconic Hebrew Ahavah Piece…),

and added a little “flair’.

If you’re interested in viewing this piece, and about 2 dozen more,

check out the Ann Arbor JCC, or the Hebrew Day School,

or Beth Israel Congregation, or the Jewish Family Service of Washtenaw County.

Beveled, Iridescent, Star of David


I started with the Beveled Glass Pattern  —  

then it started to grow, and took on a life of it’s own.

Interested in seeing this piece and over a dozen more?  Meet me at the Jewish Community Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and I’ll take you on a tour.  

Until then  —  enjoy my blog.

Beit Fei — Initials

Are you looking for that Perfect Bar Mitzvah, Wedding or Graduation present?

You should consider a one-of-a-kind piece of stained glass with the recipient’s initials.   Send me the initials – and I’ll send you a sketch.  Sound like a plan?  😉

Somewhere – Over The Rainbow…

This 8″ plate is perfect for a display, a wall hanging, or even to use as a plate for all kinds of special treats.

It would make the Perfet Gift for that Special Person.
