BBesigns

Chanukah Gift Tags Set of 8 One for each night of Hanukah








What first impressed me when I saw BBesigns was the quiet elegance in each card. The more I read about Barbra's process and love for her work, the more I impressed I became.

A life in art with a BFA in design from the Kansas City Art Institute led Barbra to BBesigns. With a passion for paper with a love of watercolor and recycling, Barbra creates individually handmade cards that are beautiful to give and receive. No two cards are ever the same; each are created with love and passion.

KippahMitzvah

Finding decent kippot knitting patterns led to the start of Kippah Mitzvah.
What started as a fundraiser for her synagogue has become an act of love and spirituality shared worldwide. For Sharon knitting is relaxation and the felting process is meditation. Each kippah is a work of art with gorgeous colors and design. Beautiful hand painted tallit are new additions to the Kippah Mitzvah shop.

Here are some of my favorites.

Bird on a Wire Tallit
