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.
