New Acquisitions

 

Yesterday I added some beautiful new drawings to my small collection of works by Michal Erez, a dear friend and a brilliant artist. You can find more of those here. h

Michal is also a gifted craft maker, and one of my earliest inspirations. Here are a couple of friends, made by Michal,  that I am so lucky to have.k

Finger Zoo

Introducing the first complete finger zoo set! h

Second from the right is the newest member - the camel, another animal that is very dear to my heart. I think this specific one bears a certain resemblance to a tiger or a panther, at least the animated ones like the pink panther. Let's say this is my tribute to all of you protesters all over the Middle East - I'm sure you're reading my blog right now. Please look deeply into the eyes of this tiger-camel and let your hearts fill up with courage and motivation!n

Also a first appearance on this blog of Mr. Rabbit, second from the left, dedicated to my little friend Yanai, whose finger got bit by a terrible rabbit!h

Here are some images of her delicious dalls: j
