i wnated to give a word and esp it`s first or letter a `Crown`, This has a long tradition . I looked at my Megila =scroll, and wasn`t pleased with the crowns i saw ,,,, So i laid my finnished embroidered word before me and started to lay over it threads in various forms ,, nothing really work , than i laid a line of beads , Shiny Blue beads ,,, YES this was it !!!! But since the last letter , a Lamed has a natural Upwards Curl i elongated it so that it will go all over the word and than curl down towards the first Letter , and by this enclose the whole word under this shiny Blue crown .... It is so delightful to play with threads and beads , and find a solution , to an idea ,,, mirjam
