Pepita Needlepoint kit: Hamsa Geode Blues, 8" x 10"

DescriptionA hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. A geode is a stone having a cavity lined with crystals or mineral matter. Most geodes contain clear quartz crystals. Geodes are found all over the world especially in desert regions.This summer I experimented with resin art to create geode looks on glass. That inspired me to design tefillin, tallit, hamsas, and challah covers with geode characteristics. This one coordinates with a Challah cover for Shabbat and Matzoh cover for Passover.Needlepoint by PepitaPepita Needlepoint printed needlepoint canvas is fun for every level of stitcher, from beginner through advanced.
