Sedar Fantasy

24" x 18"
First Post of the Day
I created this image a few years ago using the same "stamps" as the Passover Pillowcase -- plus a few more. The frog is one of the 10 plagues. The dots near the center did not turn out as I had hoped. During the sedar, we remove a drop of wine as the name of each plague is read aloud to symbolize not taking pleasure from the suffering of our enemies. I wanted the drops on this image to hold their shape the way they do as I place them on the edge of my plate. I also wish the frogs did not look like they are smiling. That line was intended as a demarcation of their head but it looks like the frogs have been drinking too much wine! If I used that stamp again, I will paint in the line to soften the effect.


As often happens, I prefer a cropped section.

The sepia tone makes the matzot look very real.
