Shabd

I went to Shabd dyeing workshop yesterday. I fell in love with tie-dye/shibori when I took my Textile Design program in Otis. I wanted to learn more and I started following Shabd work and fell in love with it. I tried to arrange for her to teach us a class at Otis but it didn't work out. I was waiting for her to come to LA for a couple of years now. Since then I got her wonderful book and I'm experiencing dyeing with different fabrics and methods. • A few weeks ago Shabd emailed me that she's going to teach a dyeing workshop in LA. I wanted to dye things that I usually don't, like these leggings. I love how they came out. I was so excited to meet her and ask all my questions, she's truly a great artist and a teacher. She shared so much information with us, it was a blast. Thank you Shabd for a great Saturday.

Winter Colors Salad Recipe

Here is the original recipe translated from Hebrew (without the cookie bags) of Sharon Haspel Sa'ar amazing Winter Colors Salad. I tried my best to keep the originality of the ingredients and instructions. Thank you Sharon for the yummy salad and the beautiful photos. Enjoy.

Winter Colors Salad

This post is about my dear friend Sharon Haspel Sa'ar amazing recipe Winter Colors Salad. When I saw her post about the salad I fell in-love, first with the colors (I'm a designer after all) then with the ingredients. As you know me by now I like doing things my way. I followed Sharon's recipe, I made the dressing exactly as she instructed, but I didn't have chestnuts, yams or cookie bags. I replaced the yams with small regular potatoes, and added different colored carrots from our garden. I also added cabocha to the mix. I roasted it with the peel, I didn't want it to get dry. When it was ready I added the orange part to the salad. I baked everything at 375ºF for 45 minutes or so in a baking sheet covered with foil. I broiled only the potatoes a little bit longer. The warm salad came out amazing. Thank you Sharon for another amazing recipe. Xo

Note: the link is to a recipe in Hebrew, I'll ask Sharon if I could translate her recipe to English.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope you had a wonderful day full of love and joy. Xo
