like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbor quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of trees.
~ R. L. Stevenson
a primitive quilted fabric from the civil war era
provides the base for many layers and textures
hand stitched tiny treasures light up the night
a rusted bell with a secret hidden crystal clapper
and a driftwood hanger
