Breathe by Marian Crane

In hectic and troubled times, it's good to make something that reminds us to center ourselves for the fight ahead. Four Latin mottoes are hand-painted onto white shell plaques, and sewn into specially-designed cotton fabric pages. Wood burned poplar covers are accented with porcelain discs and lush waxed polyester fiber tassels and glass beads. Dum Spiro Spero. Dum Spero Amo. Dum Amo Vivo. Dum Vivo Prosum. While I breathe, I hope. While I hope, I love. While I love, I live. While I live, I do good.
