Finding Fifteen Feathers by Karen Benveniste.
Out on walks, I frequently find fallen feathers and marvel at their distinct colors, gorgeous designs and multi-purpose uses. Feathers repel water, impress potential mates, provide camouflage and of course, enable flight. They are a wonder and an inspiration.
Accordion book, feathers on Japanese paper; cloth-covered box, wallpaper, antique button, cording, beads, collage papers, wasp nests, hand writing.

Songs of Ascent by Angela Batchelor.
The “Songs of Ascent" are a collection of 15 Psalms that were traditionally sung by the Jewish people ascending the hill to Jerusalem for festivals. The Venetian Blind structure reads from the bottom up like ascending stairs. There is a clear progression from despair and longing, to hope and gratitude, with worship and praise.
