An Art-Nouveau inspired coloring book for adults and kids!

I collaborated with my good friend and incredible artist, Malka Michaela Barshishat to create this gorgeous, art-nouveau inspired coloring book for the holiday of Shavuot. The pictures are intricate and detailed enough for adult coloring-book enthusiasts, but are perfect for the whole family!

Fun fact: Malka is originally from The Czech Republic, as was Alphonse Mucha, one of the leading figures of the Art Nouveau movement! We both go crazy for this style, and hope you will too!

This coloring book is a celebration of the giving of the Torah, the bringing of the bikurim (the first fruits brought as a gift to the Temple), the shivat Ha’minim (special fruits of the Land of Israel), the custom of eating dairy foods and decorating the the house with flowers, and the Book of Ruth.

We hope you will enjoy these hand-drawn pages, and that they will make your holiday more special!

Ruth Paper Dolls for Shavuot!

Girls love princesses and pretty clothes. Girls love coloring and crafts. Put them together and you get… paper dolls! But we can do so much better than Cinderella, don’t you think? Introducing the Ruth paper dolls, just in time for Shavuot!

Lots of Jewish mom’s seem glad to have a modest-yet-beautiful figure for their girls to play with. One of my friends said: “What a great idea! I love it! My daughter is always commenting on the Disney princess’ lack of coverage.” And another mom said “So nice to have a Jewish Barbie.” This is exactly what I had in mind– REAL role models for our girls–princesses, no less– who are beautiful and royal, strong and resilient, modest and kind. Like Ruth.

Don’t know who Ruth was? Read all about her here!

The Ruth paper doll comes with 4 costumes (Moabite princess, Wealthy Wife, Pauper, and Mother of Royalty) and a cast of 3 supporting actors (Naomi, Orpah, and Boaz)!

Color them in, cut them out, add some popsicle sticks if you desire (to make them into puppets), and bring the story of Ruth alive!
