Angels for Peace – Pieces of Peace

In the summer of 2007, I taught a workshop on making Angels for Peace.
I think a lot about how we make peace.
Peace is made in a million, billion different ways, every day, one little piece of peace at a time. Making an Anges of Peace doll is a metaphor that reminds us about how we envision peace and how we go about creating peace in our lives – at a personal level, and as entire communities.
This has lead me to realize that the Angels of Peace dolls have to reflect a broad spectrum of imagery – from the sweet and simple, to the elegant and complex. After all, peace can be simple, but it is also profoundly complicated, too!
I make Peace Angel dolls with a broad range of techniques: Crochet,(including felted crochet), knitting, spoolknitting and small loom weaving.
So, what does ~your~ Angel of Peace look like?
Peace! and hugs all round

Where and when are you teaching the class on Angels for Peace. I hope to be able to get to Manchester but it would only be for the weekend (Sat and Sun). I live in Long Island and would love to attend the class if you were offering nearby.

Leslie, your angel is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your photo of her!
Thanks Noreen–she was fun & very simple to make–handmade paper, Chinese joss paper, skeletonized leaves, & a little glue. I like it that she’s simple & freestanding.
Yes, there’s an elegance about her that is very engaging!
