I started wearing a kippah when I had an experience in my workplace that tested my ability not to humiliate someone in public.

I have a Design degree in Fabrics and started making kippot, since I wear these every day and need something to match my whim. Lately I have made kippot for fund raising at our shul.

I like georgeous fabric,pearls, beads, crystals, ribbons, sequins, bells, flowers, whatever stikes my fancy. Some kippot are are elegant in Breakfast at Tiffany's kind of way, others are so light they hardly exist. For every kippah I make clips to hold them covered in the same fabric. My kippah come in many shapes, and I'm constantly trying new things.

Men's kippot are boring....womens kippot need to be a welcoming accessory in order to work for me. I am constantly getting compliments on my kippah (almost regardless of wich on I wear) and I want to be a visible Jew in a city with a visible muslim population.

I wear a kippah in order to feel the hand of G-d on my head as a reminder to find the mitzvah in the moment. My life is brighter since I started wearing a kippah.
