Shosh Segev Embroidery

This is an embroidery made by Israeli artist Shosh Segev especially for the Star of David exhibition in Yavne Gallery which opened yestarday. 
The reflection in the glass of the frame shows me taking the photo and the Star-of-David-Chuppa created by artist Yaniv Shapira.

Star Glasses

I asked Jennie Gottschalk, whose computer designs I favor, to illustrate Star of David sunglasses and she accepted my request. At first glance I saw a male wearing Star Glasses, a second latter I realized it is a woman.
I like the result and even more I like the creative cooperation between me and Jennie Gottschalk, which seems quite a precedence here on Flickr (correct me if I'm wrong).

they were selling them in all the Dominos in South Korea last October. I didn't try one so I don't even know what the star topping was made of.

Stand Alone

The hexagram here is one of the very limited times you'll see it alone in India. Typically Moghul architecture will use the hexagram as part of a tessellation. 

Copper Jewish Star

This is a copper enameled star. Copper enameling is the process of melting powdered glass on copper. To see more of my work visit www.feingoldjewelry.etsy.com. For more information, check out my profile.

I like meeting designs of our national emblem in materials that are new to me, such as this original design.

My daughter's 14 year old friend (who is not jewish btw) was wearing them with a lime green mini and bronze ballet flats and a mohawk. she looked super cute.
I saw Star of David earings and necklaces, neckties and nose-rings, hats and pins, but this is the first time I see it on leggings.
