Rae, you may use any pattern you like, as long as the leaves are “leaf-like” in size, so that I can actually attach them to the TikkunTree. Think sculptural, knit peacefully … for peace!

Yes, yes, yes … you are welcome to contribute leaves, doves and candles, in any textile medium you like.
Your participation would be splendid!

Yes, of course, woven Saori leaves would be WONDERFUL!
Since developing carpal tunnel inflammation in both hands, I have also become a Saori weaver (and my Ready to Hand Studio is, in fact, a Saori studio!). All manner of leaves are welcome on the TikkunTree — knitted, crocheted, sewn, painted, woven, etc. The only limit is our imagination (and perhaps a size limit ….).

I would love for the TikkunTree to travel once it is large enough to have a real presence in the community. In the meantime, I will create a virtual exhibit of contributions to the project, and find a way to create a virtual TikkunTree for us to share. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and ideas – I am so re-invigorated by the wonderful support of the project!

The TikkunTree has been in hibernation, licking its wounds since Operation Cast Lead (and my long bout with double carpal tunnel inflammation) … but we are so thrilled by the renewed interest in the project … and the need for it couldn’t be any greater after recent events.
So YES, PLEASE DO SEND LEAVES! in small-ish, soft-pack envelopes (boxes will not fit through the mail slot).
The new address is:

Ready to Hand Studio

I would love to knit for this project. Let me know how I should start the leaves, or should I use my own pattern.

Are you still collecting leaves, doves and candles for this project? I just found out about it and would like to help.

I am a Saori weaver. I made some peace doves with fabric I wove, then cut and sewed into the shape of a dove. Could I send them to be included in your peace project?

[...] The “peace tree” grows through contributions by knitters, embroiderers, sewers, and crocheters with an interest in Middle East peace, specifically peace in Israel. Crafters from all over the world submit leaves, olives, and doves which are suspended from a knitted tree trunk structure. If you’d like to be a part of this noble project, guidelines are available here. [...]

I love it. I will happily make some leaves. Reading some comments above, I wonder if your leaves, post exhibit travels, could be sewn into Leaf Blankets for Babies. My head is now filled with images of little baby-cocoons ->those extra large socks you put a baby in to let it feel restricted & calm, like swaddling. I want to make a Leafy Green One!
