This Week's Theme: Happy Chanukah!

This week finds us in the midst of the Festival of Lights. After the victory of the Maccabees over the Greeks and religious oppression, it was necessary to rededicate the Temple in Jerusalem. After searching, only one flask of oil could be found with which to light the Menorah. This flask, enough for one day, lasted for eight. In celebration of these events, for eight days, the candles of the Menorah are lit. Happy Chanukah!

""Merged" - high relief wood carving"





*(Detail Images)*

Media: Reclaimed koa wood, recla
Dimensions: 2 3/4"Tx 2 5/16"Wx 3/4"D

I try to use old, reclaimed materials in my wood carvings and embellishments. This one is a heart, overlayed with a stylized star of David, topped by a crucifix. On the back is another heart of inlaid mother-of-pearl and gold. It was done in celebration of the marriage of an interfaith couple. I have cropped the inscription that I wood-burned into the back over the heart because it is personal.
