ABOVE: The TREE OF LIFE challah cover was designed from a beautiful Bat Mitzvah invitation featuring this EITZ CHAYIM. The amazing TALLITmaaven digitized the tree as it appeared on the invitation (including the red gemstone). The "theme" of the Bat Mitzvah was "Tree of Life". The decor and speeches all centred on this theme. Just think how menaingful a Bar/Bat Mitzvah could be with everything from the invitations, to the centrepieces (earth/ecology ) to the kippot and the challah cover coordinating and reinforcing EITZ CHAYIM or other meaningful theme. Contact us.
The tree of life above, was created by the TALLITmaaven, for a family reunion.  The purchaser used fabric pens to write the names of the family, each in its own space.  The finished produce has a tunnel for a rod, and is being presented to the eldest living member of the family as a challah cover.
Family tree wall hanging/challah cover embroidered on decorator silk .  The family commissioned this family tree wall hanging (to be used as a wall hanging when not at the table).  The Hebrew names of ancestors  back generations head by two generations are embroidered onto the leaves and trunk of the tree.  
A wonderful wedding, anniversary, birthday, housewarming, or I LOVE YOU gift.
