Speaking of practical things, one craft I wanted to try was tambourine painting. I watched several drum painting YouTube videos, lol. So far I have two designs, the first one featuring Tzimtzimmai, the aspect of the Divine who contracted Herself to make The Void - the womb in which the universe is created.

I have 5 or 6 of these in stock and can do any color scheme.
