Having seen the organza curtain for Temple Israel in Natick, MA, R. James Brandt commissioned a similar curtain for his synagogue but with the addition of large gold colored Hebrew letters to match those above the ark.
In order to paint the organza, I rented studio space at a silkscreen T-shirt company. The organza was stretched on a padded table with a layer of raw silk below it, capturing excess, thickened dye.
The letters--- for the words shma (listen) & emet (truth) were sponge printed onto the fabric.
