The ability to remember and preserve the precious moments and people in our lives is an essential part of being human. Especially when it comes to those who have passed away, the need to hold onto something tangible—something that immortalizes their image and tells their story—becomes more meaningful than ever. A handcrafted portrait offers a unique and moving way to commemorate the connection to loved ones who are no longer with us, through a creation that expresses not only their likeness, but also everything they meant to us.
A personal portrait is more than just a picture—it’s a way to infuse love, memory, and energy into a creation that will last forever. Through book sculpting using the Shadow technique, I create portraits that allow family and friends to feel presence, closeness, and even comfort.
One of the most moving portraits I created was in memory of a Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic from Ofakim who was murdered on October 7th while saving lives. His wife reached out to me through his TikTok account and wrote: “I’m thinking of making a portrait for my husband who was murdered on October 7th.” It was a powerful moment I’ll never forget. Working on this book was accompanied by a storm of emotions—the joy of creation mixed with deep grief over the loss.
After receiving the portrait, she wrote to me:
“The book sits on the nightstand next to my bed, and in the hardest moments—which are the nights—I look at it and just smile at him.”
Sometimes, a personal portrait is not just a memory, but also a warm embrace that connects generations. Like in the case of a family who lost their most precious person two years ago—their grandmother. As their mother’s birthday approached, a woman who doesn’t let a day pass without looking at her mother’s photo and speaking to her with longing, the children decided to transform their grandmother’s picture into a work of art. A creation that would always be there on the shelf, and every time she looks at it—she wouldn’t just see her mother, but also feel the warm embrace of her children.
Choosing a personal portrait in a sculptured book is choosing a living memory. It’s a way to keep the image of our loved ones close, preserve their presence, and give a place of honor to their life story. Every creation I make is done with respect, love, and a deep understanding of the importance of commemoration. If you’re also looking for a way to memorialize a loved one or give a truly moving gift, I’m here to help. Contact me and together we can transform a memory into a creation that will last forever.
Out of a commitment to sustainability and recycling, I make a point of working exclusively with unwanted books that are destined for disposal.
Due to the nature of how they are collected, the books vary greatly in content, language, and size, and the inventory is constantly changing. To learn more about the selection process and the philosophy behind using these books, you are invited to read our "About" section.
I believe that books carry deep personal meaning, so I do my best to accommodate such requests.
However, there are technical considerations that influence the choice of the right book, such as page count, paper tone, and thickness. If you would like to check the suitability of a specific book in advance, please contact me or leave a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Absolutely! I am open to bringing any idea you can imagine to life.
As an artist, I strive to weave your personal vision and message into the work, so that when you receive the final piece, you feel a deep connection to it—almost as if you had created it yourself. Please send me your idea along with your contact details using this form, and I will get back to you within three business days with a price quote.
No, a stand is not necessary at all! Once the book is finished, it will stand independently and remain stable on any flat surface you place it on.
However, if you would like to display the book tilted at a slight upward angle, a special stand is available to order. Please note – the stand is not listed on the website, so if you are interested, please contact me directly to place an order.
To ensure your piece remains at its best for years to come, it should be placed in a dry, shaded area, away from extreme temperatures.
For dusting, a gentle pass with a feather duster is all it takes—and your book will look as fresh as the day you received it.
Absolutely! A book sculpture makes the perfect gift.
All you need to do is check the "Gift Wrapping" box on the product page. The cost is 40 NIS for home delivery, or free of charge if you choose to pick it up yourself from my studio in Herzliya.

מתוך מחויבות לערכי הקיימות והמיחזור, אני מקפידה לעבוד אך ורק עם ספרים ללא דורש, המיועדים להשלכה. בהתאם לאופי האיסוף שלהם, הספרים מגוונים מאוד בתוכן, בשפה ובגודל והמלאי משתנה כל הזמן. למידע נוסף על הבחירה בספרים ועל הרעיון שמאחורי השימוש בהם, תוכלו לקרוא ב"אודות".
אני מאמינה שלספרים יש משמעות אישית עמוקה, ולכן אשתדל לענות על בקשה זו בחיוב. עם זאת, ישנם שיקולים טכניים שיכולים להשפיע על בחירת הספר המתאים, כמו מספר העמודים, גוון הדפים, ועוביים. אם תרצו לבדוק איתי מראש את אפשרות השימוש בספר מסוים, אנא צרו קשר או השאירו הודעה, ואחזור אליכם בהקדם.
בהחלט! אני פתוחה ליצירת כל רעיון שתדמיינו. כיוצרת אני שואפת לשלב את המסרים והחזון האישיים שלכם ביצירה, כך שכשתקבלו את היצירה תרגישו חיבור עמוק אליה, קצת כאילו יצרתם אותה בעצמכם. שלחו לי את הרעיון שלכם ופרטים ליצירת קשר בטופס הזה, ואחזור אליכם תוך שלושה ימי עסקים עם הצעת מחיר.
לא, אין צורך במעמד כלל! כשהספר מוכן הוא יעמוד באופן עצמאי ויציב על כל משטח ישר עליו תניחו אותו.
עם זאת, אם תרצו להציג את הספר כך שיוטה בזווית קלה כלפי מעלה, ניתן להזמין מעמד מיוחד. שימו לב – המעמד אינו מופיע באתר, אז במקרה כזה אנא צרו איתי קשר ישירות להזמנה.
כדי להבטיח שהיצירה תישאר במיטבה לשנים רבות יש למקם אותה באזור יבש ומוצל, הרחק מטמפרטורות קיצוניות. לניקוי מאבק מספיק לעבור בעדינות עם מוט נוצות – והספר ייראה רענן כמו ביום שבו קיבלתם אותו.
בהחלט! ספר מפוסל הוא המתנה המושלמת. כל שעלייך לעשות הוא לסמן את תיבת הבחירה "אריזת מתנה" בעמוד המוצר. העלות היא 40 ₪ למשלוח עד הבית, או בחינם אם תבחרו באיסוף עצמי מהסטודיו בהרצליה.
המשלוח מתבצע בשירות מדלת אל דלת, כדי להבטיח שהיצירה תגיע אליכם במצב מושלם. ניתן גם לבחור באיסוף עצמי מהסטודיו שבהרצליה. למידע נוסף, אתם מוזמנים לקרוא על מדיניות המשלוחים שלנו כאן.
