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.

Isn’t it interesting how differently it looks during the Day – and during the Night?!?

A Hamsa Ner Tamid
You might have seen below my use of a filagree Hamsa as a centerpiece in a glass Ner Tamid. This time I took a piece of golden mirror glass as the centerpiece.
The commission was for a simple Hamsa. I was told glass was to be red and white. I began by placing a silver filigree hamsa in the center. When I drew the diamond shape, it looked like a Ner Tamid – with the fingers of the hamsa as the flame. The blue iridescent Magain David completes the piece. During the day the flame shines. At night, all one sees is the blue mirrored reflection of the Star of David. I hope it finds a nice home!
