Back to the future
Well, this is my first test of whether or not I will return to blogging here instead of WordPress (where I will leave a trail of thread-crumbs).
Sadly, it’s a post about our favorite gallery in our latest hometown, closing after seven wonderful years. I made a wine bottle label so we could gift the owners with a collage of the seven paintings we purchased at Assemblage …
Happily, they will still be living in town and their business will continue virtually, so it’s actually more of a fare-you-well … and thanks for the memories!

And so/sew it begins
The first two sets of peace pins are ready to fly (and yes, of course you may ask for more than one).
Two are going to my one-time roommate and bridesmaid, Linda in Virginia …
And two are headed to Jude in New York, who only asked for one, but when I wasn’t happy with the first iteration (not enough contrast), I made a second …
Happily, I have quite a few requests pending, so there will be more posts to come.
To learn more about the project and request your own (free) peace pin, click on this link.

Liz,
I think these are inspirational. These are just perfect for a Quaker Meeting, like the one I belong to! We’d need about 50!! I’d never ask anyone make anything fore free, but perhaps we could pay you for a bunch and/or get your permission to use the concept to make them ourselves, crediting you in some really nice way?
With your permission, I’d like to suggest to our city council (where I live, in NJ), that we riff off your idea as a way to raise funds to restore our historic town’s Old City Hall. It is no longer used as a city hall, but developing into an arts venue. We’d use different messages of course, like “New Paint for OCH”, “Cleaning Our Old Clock Tower”.

Liz, these are wonderful!
The Quaker Meeting I belong to would love them. We’d need about 50…!!
I can find out if others would be interested, then maybe we could buy your concept, then form a pin-making Committee to make our own pins? What are your thoughts on that?

Liz, What a beautiful loving idea to revisit this project. Looks like you will be busy stitching. I hope you will gather much peace for yourself in the doing. I loved my imagine peace pin. I kept it pinned to my purse hoping that when I was out and about people might notice it and spread the imagining. Then poof, one day I noticed it was gone. I suspect it came unpinned and that I dropped it somewhere. I searched my car but it wasn’t there. I was sad, but also hopeful in the thought that the right person found it and also loved it. I’ve considered about a dozen companion words and am setting on ‘be peace’. I love that dark blue you’ve shown above. Thank you.

The Peace Pin Project (a continuation)
I hereby invite my longtime friends in the blog world and the gentle people of St. Elizabeth’s (my new church home) to join me in speaking up for peace by wearing your feelings on your sleeve ... or your lapel, backpack, bag ... whatever. You can request your very own peace pin(s) in person or by leaving a comment below (and for those who are wondering, the peace pins are free).
As I did in 2017, I'd like to know what color speaks peace to you, but this time around you can also choose what two words you'd like to have on your pin. Perhaps you’re an educator and wish to “teach peace” … or you’re an artist who would like to “create peace” … maybe you would like to “learn peace” … or you hope to urge others to “try peace” … you may even want to inspire folks to “spread peace” …
Just two words can speak volumes … especially when the words speak your own truth. To see other peace pins that have already flown out into the world, just follow these links to Peace Pin Project and Peace Pin Project (version 2).
If you request a peace pin in person, I will hand deliver it to you as soon as I am able. If you live out of town and wish to receive a pin by mail, please send an email to lizackert@gmail.com with your home mailing address along with the color and words you wish to have on your peace pin. To protect your privacy, please don’t put your contact information in the comments.
Thank you for joining me as I once again seek to stitch peace into the world, one pin at a time ...
P.S. If you should happen to give your peace pin away, I would be honored to create another for you … Ask and it shall be given unto you (Matthew 7:7).
