Goan Shutterbugs' Nature Photo Walk
outside Fatorda Stadium, Margao 13th Sept 09
Self-portrait: Japanese-Canadian-Israeli scholar, needleworker, lacemaker, spinner, weaver, and avid cook
The wooden object is a bit cryptic. It's a 19th cent. Canadian boat shuttle. I don't weave with it. It has some faint carving in it and is considered a piece of folk art. It was also the only Canadian object I could find at short notice.
The handkerchiefs with tatting and bobbin lace are my own work. The framed pieces are Teresa Wentzler's "English Garden Sampler" and my Ph.D. diploma. The book is one of the last things I wrote before I let the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Hebrew University to work in high tech. On top of the book is a small metal tahkli (spindle) and just behind it (darn, didn't realise it rolled back) is a bobbin for making bobbin lace. The red striped cloth is one of my aprons. The mortar and pestle, passport, and tea cup are pretty self-explanatory, I think.
I have oodles more hobbies I thought of but there's a limit to how much one can fit in a picture! :-)
This watch I made on commission for someone in England. It came out just right.
I build these watches from scratch, the only thing not made by me are the movements because you just can't beat Swiss and Japanese precision. XD
