An idea for an Omer counter has been percolating since before Pesach last year when Mintzy asked me if I had any use for her metal sewing machine bobbins. With her bobbins and my bobbins, we had more than 49 - enough for an Omer calendar. I saw this one made by Studio Gruss in New York:
I wanted mine to be textile related and in parts that could be dismantled to fit into a compact box, something like this travelling Shabbat candle box I made for a Pomegranate Exhibit. It was made based on a large match box holder and contains a wooden candle holder with two holes for tea light candles, room for additional candles under the holder and a smaller match box.
I kind of know what I want to do and I think I will use this cigar box as my container.
I'll let you know how (if) it turns out the way I envisioned.
