 I have been remiss in reporting - sometimes life gets in the way.  

We briefly discussed how our Yontif went, and then our usual:

Word of the Day- Grok  https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day

In late August, Reesa attended a fibre art workshop at Hudson Valley Art Workshop in Greenville (Hudson Valley).  The instructor was Deborah Fell.  There are youtube videos of her showing some of her techniques.

Reesa had already shared with her some of the things she learned and today she again shared for those of us who missed it the first time.  We saw some of her and the other participants work, based on materials and instructions provided. An idea was floated to perhaps do a mini-workshop with Reesa sharing hands-on what she had learned, especially pertaining to painting and printing with fusible (wonder-under-ish).

Gwen informed us that Beth Tikvah synagogue will be having a program about the calligraphy of Karny Rivlin Vorona who recently completed her latest project - "LeDor VaDor" - a book of Haftarot for Shabbat https://www.bethtikvahtoronto.org/event/ledor-vador-a-book-of-haftarot-for-shabbat.html

And we closed with yet another version of Achat Sha’alti – Temple Beth Am LA:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybq0N81iG58

New Year 2024

 One of my New Year's Resolutions is to flesh out a little in the L&S posts, beyond only posting the links. I did not receive the January 4th links but made some notes.  And from January 4th to today, my notes don't make all that much sense either... We discussed sergers, prompted by Reesa's new purchase.   Just Get It Done Quilts has an annual decluttering challenge which some members are following.  Shirley told us about the treasures she had discovered after a pre-New Year's declutter in her studio.  We discussed uncluttering in general. We were provided with info about a request for knitting supplies, needles and yarn, for donation to Israel. Laya shared her artwork about the week's parsha and haftorah. Harriet and Susan (Calgary) shared some of their artwork.  Elaine is in Israel and shared that she had been to Kfar Aza, one of the kibbutzim attacked on the October 7th. I have a note about a paper cutting artist, Iso Setel.  Unfortunately...
