Inspired by –accordion book titled “Wings”
For thought is a bird of space that in a cage of words may indeed fold its wings but cannot fly–Kahlil Gibran
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly–Langston Hughes
No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings–William Blake
Gouache and ink on rag paper, cotton covers.

NEW for Crafts of Colrain by Peggy Davis. This is a papercut Shiviti – a piece of art/calligraphy placed on the eastern wall (or other direction, depending on one’s location on earth) showing the direction of Jerusalem. The text in the art says “My God, the soul you have placed within me is pure.” This studio will be open during the tour on Sunday 11/10 only, 10-4. Other days available by appointment.
