I can't tell the difference (on the Internet) if I'm looking at silk or paper which impresses me that you can emulate you watercolors so well in a fabric surface!
Thank you Erika, Suzanne, Nancy and Akiko for your comments! Yes, Nancy, the tallit blessing is written around the moon. In both designs just posted, I was looking for the sun or moon and the blessing around it to act like a crown or kippah when the wearer puts the tallit over his head, as some people do it prayer. When he wears it over his shoulders, the sun/moon is on his back.
This is really beautiful design for silk tallit.It gives a very sobber and fine look.Today’s prayer shawl has changed a great deal from its earliest inception.

This one is stunning, Hillary. Bravo!
I can't wait to see the finished shawl. The colors are beautiful and dramatic. Is that the tallit prayer around the moon?
Hillary, this is so beautiful! I love the colors!
