Don't give up on peace

 

Fiona and I spent time with the letterpress yesterday printing our peace weather grams to send out for International Day of Peace in September. Why so early I hear you ask? Well we needed to get them printed, dry and posted before we head off to Scotland.

I really like the opening  and following photo because they demonstrate the ephemeral nature of weather grams; but also seem to speak of the fragility of peace. On Ken's sculptural chair you can see worn weather grams from a few different years that have fluttered to the ground out of our magnolia tree.

This year I have chosen to print - "don't give up on peace". Given all the wars created by weak bully boys  it would be easy to just say we can't do anything - but we can - individually and collectively we need to push for peace through our individual efforts and by pushing our own politicians.

Following are a few images of the printing process and outcomes.





And a couple of Fiona and I at work in our micro but very functional printing space.


May we all continue to push for peace.
