stamped discs - mjd 2013
the international day of peace approaches.
my plan was for a woven project,
but only metals could finish it off
the way i saw it/heard it
in my head.
the way prayer wheels are spun
to carry the mantra out into the world,
i stamped each disc
with something meaningful.
brass chimes - mjd 2013
i made small chimes
of shining brass
and decided to give the elements
a chance
of imparting their own patina.
woven peace flag - mjd 2013
a simple flag -
with a bit of stitching
and an opening,
that necessary opening,
to represent the wound
'where the light gets in'.
thank you, rumi.
the blog where projects will be shared
is as heartfelt and humble as they come.
it isn't too late to join in
should you choose -
just send me an email
and we'll get you set up.
or just stop in to see
what talented souls
with peaceful hearts
have made to honor the day.
I love your little chimes--airy and delicate, a perfect compliment to your weaving! And I am happy to see you are back at your bench swinging a hammer, this must mean your recovery is progressing and you are feeling stronger! Hope it was very satisfying and you are feeling good.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful little spinners you have created! I love the idea of the meaning on them and the spinning those good thoughts into space. I will wear my Nepal necklace from last year and spin my prayer wheel on it to send good blessings into the world. I am so happy to see you creating such a meaningful piece, as if there would be any other way with you! Enjoy the day, Miss Mary Jane! Erin

ReplyDeleteMJ - love this work - small chimes - and it suggests that you have been able to do a bit of metal work - though not too much I hope. Look forward to seeing the finished work; and know it will ring peace quietly to the world. B
