“New Moon” is inspired by the cycles of the moon. When the first crescent appears the new month begins in Jewish tradition. This is the first piece of this theme I’ve done.

“New Moon” is permanently framed in a wooden embroidery hoop that has been sanded and then finished with traditional shellac. It has a custom made hanger of silk embroidery floss that matches the color of the frame. The piece is signed in ink with my cipher, a pomegranate and the Hebrew letter kuf.
