THere are tons of silks out there that are Christmas themed one way or another. You can get silks w/ Messages like Merry Christmas. Silks w/ santa, or Rudolf, or a tree, or ornaments & lights, etc.

Does anyone know where I can get silks w/ a Menorah or a dreidal? How about a silk w/ Hebrew lettering? While on topic, how about a set of silks for Purim w/ Mordachai, Ester, Ahashvarous, & ofcourse, Hamen?

I need some for this year and would like to get them with out paying through the nose (Bad joke).

I don't know but perhaps Richard Hughes can make you some --- of course, I'm not sure what paying through the nose means for you. If all else fails, you could try to do them yourself. For example, you can buy those iron-on transfer sheets to use with inkjet printers. Scan the images you want or use high quality images from religious graphics that are vailable on CD-ROM then print them out on these transfer sheets. Iron them on silks. The only problem I foresee is size: as far as I know, you will be limited to an image size of about 8 1/2 by 11 inches depending on your printer's output. Good luck!

I currently have made up some mennorah silks that I made extra when I made up for another customer. I can email photos out if desired. It is a blue background with a yellow/gold candlestick with the lit flames. It is a 24" 8 momme silk. Cost is $40.

I can handpaint other designs that are not too complex. But since I am not Jewish, I must admit I would prefer to have the artwork sent to me to use.
Artwork should be made that it "plays" from a distance without too much detail.

Here are some rough costs for painting silk which will vary according to the size of silk and complexity of the design.

36”- 8 M- $70- $85,24”- 8 M $35-$45,18”- 8 M $25-25

Richard,

I think there is a market for this. You could be the first to exploit it. I PM'd you re the silk you mentioned. I will try to send you some art work later today so that you can tell me if you think it would work.

Thanks,

Bruce
