Anat Mayer creates cushions, tablecloths and runners from fine linens and makes wood and metal Judaica from metal and wood using Biblical and Land-of- Israel motifs. Many of her works employ Swarovski crystal combined with semi-precious stones in pieces which represent the Seven Species of the Land of Israel.
