This morning I had a photoshoot with my friend Khadijah for her book, so I got all decked out!  I recreated my previous Shabbat outfit and wanted to share with you how I did the whole ruffled waves pouf on the side!

Here is a not high quality photo… will post photos from the photoshoot later!

And here is the tutorial!

Here’s how to do an awesome flower with a square scarf!

As you can see in the photos above, this technique can be used to cover your whole head with a scarf (1st pic) or to use as a fancy sash!  The last one shows how to put a pin in the flower to make it flatter 🙂  Enjoy!  Shabbat shalom, world!

This outfit from Miri was my inspiration to finally make a video about this!  There’s lots more to say on the subject, so send in your questions and we’ll talk about it some more!

Inspired by the Wrapunzel Fangroup Color-of-the-Week, I went all-out with all my burgundy/red/wine-colored items from my closet!! This is an auburn Tapestry Luxe and a burgundy 2-in-1 in a modified zig-zag wrap.

If you’d like to join in on Color-of-the-Week, the theme this week (could you guess?) is #wrapunzeledinred! We do a round-up post of photo submissions every week, so don’t forget to submit your photos either on the Fangroup or by emailing them to us at wrapunzelthestore@gmail.com with “Color of the Week” as the subject line!

Happy weekend everybody! We’re super excited to share with you another tutorial by Earth Izayaa (you may recognize her from the fabulous side-bow tutorial she made). You can find her other videos on her personal channel here. The following tutorial she made just for us, after the photos below got a ton of interest over on our Fangroup!

Without further ado, enjoy pictures and a tutorial for the Gold Agate Crown!

Remember back in the day when I used to post my wrap/outfit more often?  I need to start doing that again!  Here are some outfits that I’ve worn over the last week!  My camera has been in for repair, so apologies for the sub standard photos!  All of these outfits have hints of black in them (yes I’m searching for a theme) 🙂

This is a jacket that I’ve had since I was 16… and I just found it at my in-law’s during our trip to Israel!  SO happy to be wearing it again!

And a pretty grey dress, white jean jacket with a tichel to match!

And here is my fave… I really enjoyed the jean jacket with the lace top! I’m off to teach some littlies in this photo. I LOVED this tichel!  It felt so ‘me’!!

Hope you enjoy!

Love, Andrea

Hi Everyone!  Andrea here!

So besides doing awesome stuff here at Wrapunzel, most of you are aware that I’m also a professional cellist.  I often recieve messages from you Wrapunzel ladies asking when/where I’m going to be performing and I’m what up to in terms of music, so I’m really excited to share here something we’ve been working on for a while now that has finally come to fruition!

My husband and I are often asked, “Why would you young people, with so much to give, devote your lives to a dying art?”  And our answer is simple, “Who says it’s dying?”  We believe that music is the universal language, the vessel that connects this world to the world above.  It opens up places within us that words (and even scarves!) fail to penetrate.  What is ‘dying’ is the elitist presentation of classical music; our audiences are desperate to connect, and we, the musicians, have a responsibility to take you through an expedition that transcends the physical and penetrates the soul.  Simply hitting the right notes (no matter how impressive) and playing expressively isn’t enough anymore.  In short, it is our dream that our audiences experience the same joy and elevation that we as professional musicians feel when we play and listen.   My husband especially has a rare gift of being able to speak words that allow audience members to go on a guided journey, instead of feeling like they’re on their own in the murkiness.

We started this concert series called Chamber Encounters.  The main musicians in it are myself, my husband, and violist, Sarah Lowenstein.  We are bringing in guest artists from all over the world to join us and are engaging with our audience in a way that breaks down the museum glass wall that so many concerts seem to have.  Music becomes alive, and performances are a once in a lifetime experience between us, the musicians, and the audience.

Anyway, I digress.  I could talk about this stuff for ages!

We had an amazing photoshoot for our group, and our first concert is going to be on November 24th, presented by the Gordon Center here in Maryland.  We are playing INCREDIBLE music!  Two of these pieces are on my bucket list to play in this lifetime.  I have no words.  Barber Adagio for Strings.  The Borodin.

Let me know if you want to hear more about this!  (And here are some more photos!)

This is the outfit that I wore for Shabbat.  It was one of the most profound, joyous Shabbats that I’ve had in a long time, thank Gd.

My tichel was using a gold creme shimmery, an old piece of lace that I love, a cream ruffled waves sash, and a new pin that we’re hoping to bring to the store soon.  All of these are sold out currently, but we are working on getting more 🙂  I loved using my ruffled waves sash like this!

On the next day I wore the same outfit and tichel, except I did not use the pin and did a subtler tie.

Wishing you all clarity, peace, and love.

xx Andrea
