Thanks! It's three photos of talleisim. The lighter blue one on the left (with the bit of yellow) is my grandfather's tallis from his bar mitzvah. The other blue one is my father's from his bar mitzvah. We have no idea who wore the purple tallis. It's gorgeous and looks older than the other two. Perhaps it was my great grandfather's (your great great grandfather.) We really don't know. And then I added some origami paper. Oh, also, I printed on different media. The blue talleisim are printed on vellum as I wanted a see-through quality. And some pieces of the purple tallis are printed on vellum and others on silk.

Thanks Arizona. When you come into town, I will show you the prayer shawls. They're really beautiful. I want to take more photographs of them.

That is a cool photo, though I'd love to see a closeup of the collage.
