I had a jewelry business where I partnered with a local Tel Aviv artist to sell her designs in the US and also created my own pieces to sell. These are a few of the pieces I created (2012).

I cut strips of elastic, hand-dyed them, tied and finished the edges. I did this while at a weeklong family camp and employed my family to help me tie each one. I ended up making over 1,500 hair ties.

I also handmade friendship bracelets and put a grungy spin on them by adding spiked studs.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I made mask chains that I sent to friends and family around the world. Here are two examples of chains that I created (2020).
