finally finished composing and hammering the remaining text of page 7 today (of the Book of Hope). now for the layers of paint and points. more pics in the Hammered Nail Pieces set.

feels good to work on....though it's a slow process with this particular series because what I choose to write feels so important. so often I was halting for a week or so...in order to try to decide what specific statements/hopes should go in this 'year'/page. with the weaves or puja/prayer pieces it's somewhat easier because each nail is a thought/prayer and there are so many that it feels looser , more able to include many things.
anyway, now out on the deck, layers of white paint building up, softening the edges of the nails....
