creations

These are some of my other projects that I have created for myself and for others.

		This is a very large bag that I created for my cat sitter. I stitched the bag in lots of bold colors of pink and lavender and digitized her logo and embroidered it on the front of the bag. The bag of the bag has a huge striped pocket.

		The toilet seat is a scarab design that I painted on the wood seat. The other item is a bookcase purchased at Goodwill for $5. I spraypainted it gold and then embroidered a scaab design on the curtain hiding the bathroom supplies on the shelves.

	Ira's Puzzle Your life has been a jigsaw With each puzzle piece unique. You started over many times, Always finding what you seek. When you were 5 or 8 or 12, Your adventures were sublime. As you grew in age and wisdom, Your roles changed over time. A tuba player, wrestler, reporter in the know, College boy, army Joe, never roles the same. Cycle dude, sailing guy, cowboy on the range, Son, husband, father with a good old Jewish name. The one thing you can count on Is that we are proud of you. Always loving everything you are And loving everything you do. Your puzzle isn't finished, a life not yet complete More pieces will appear and change your roles once more And as your pieces change you from one role to the next Know we hold every piece as dear as all the ones before.	This is a poem I wrote for my dad's 60th birthday. I made the border with MS Publisher from old photos of my dad that I scanned. The pictures demonstrated the versatility of my dad, which goes with the theme of the poem.

		This is a ceramic dish that I painted at one of those pottery studios. It is a hand-drawn design that I painted on. The arabic script translated means "dancer."

		This is a bedspread and pillow shams that I created for my bedroom. The bedspread is a rust colored paisley design with a slight corduruy texture to it with a rust cotton lining. The shams have an arab blessing embroidered on them.

		The first picture is the heraldic device of the Kingdom of An Tir which I digitized and embroidered on several black linen hoods, for the Pennsic gift basket. The other pictures are Christmas stockings I made for my parents with real mink fur and custom embroidery.
