My object is not a flag to be hung outdoors but is instead a pendant to be worn to remind the wearer that the goal of world peace will be attained only through the works of each individual.
A rectangle of poplar wood is layered with etched copper that has a leaf-shaped window with crocheted green cotton thread peeking through.
The back of the pendant was branded with the words “Path To Peace” and a spiral as a physical representation that the path to peace will not always be easy or comfortable.
The individual stitches of the crocheted cotton represent each of the many things that we can do to achieve the goal of “world peace”.

this is really so meaningful and lovely... the amount of thought you put into each part of the design is admirable and certainly pays off as it creates a harmonious whole that is symbolic of so much...
