Four chamsa wood coasters
Ani L’dodi v’Dodi Li (I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine)
wood cut chuppah/home adornment decoration.
The self-described self-taught
artist has worked in pub-
lishing, and her painting has
wound up on everything from
handbags to clothing to home
furnishings.
Sternberg discovered
Brown’s website, Wood With
Heart, that featured hand-
carved, hand painted creations
like lazy Susan’s, dressers, tables
and household decor. Seeing
how their talents would meld,
she reached out to Brown to
see if she would carve and
create her creations — includ-
ing Hebrew letters and Jewish
symbols, even though Brown
was not Jewish.
Since she started creating
burned-wood carvings with
Sternberg, Brown said she has
learned much about Jewish
culture and symbolism with
each chamsa and Jewish star
she carves.
Though they have yet to
meet face to face, the artists
have been creating Judaica for
two years now. Brown said
in her work, she has been
approached with many differ-
ent ideas and enjoys the possi-
bilities that come from taking
on new projects.
“
Amy approached me asking
if I can create Jewish pieces,
”
said Brown, who has had her
Etsy shop since 2009. “She sent
me these wonderful ideas and
drawings and asked if I can
create them, and I said, ‘abso-
lutely.
’ Since then, I have really
enjoyed making these pieces
of Judaica, and I have enjoyed
learning about Jewish symbols
and traditions along the way as
I carve and paint.
”
Sternberg said orders are
coming into her Etsy shop.
“My clients tell me they want
to continue to shop small and
support artists who are still
creating and trying to keep
their businesses open and run-
ning.
