Royal Chef, Shakshouka Hexagon Kite - 2013
We were contacted by an Israeli TV reality show to make a Shakshouka themed kite for one of the show's contestants, the venerable Dr. Shakshouka.
Shakshouka is a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions, often spiced with cumin.
Here's the finished kite, with the scrumptious Shakshouka with parsley on a blazing hot skillet:
And here's a short clip from the final show, featuring Bino Gabso, aka Dr. Shakshouka, and The Flying Squad.

Blast from the Past - 1992
Kite Exhibition, The Jerusalem Theater Foyer - July-August 2013
Our kite will be on exhibition at The Jerusalem Theater at the Sherover Theatre Lobby, between Jul. 21st and Aug. 28th 2013. From the Theater's website:
Crazy about the Wind | Eli and Shula ShavitThe theater summer program:
"A person dedicates his life to flying kites, you can't say that there isn't a kernel of madness in that. But it's all a matter of interpretation: there are those who call it a ‘kernel of madness' and others who would say it was a ‘spark of holiness.' Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference..." (from Romain Gary, The Kites).
Sherover Theatre Lobby, 21.7.13 to 28.8.13
