Watercolor on folded paper
STAINED GLASS
She picks up the page
A thick piece of the white print
making paper, so
Loved. She creases it
like an origami crane,
each fold opened closed,
until the whole page
lays flat covered in raised lines.
Delicately she
paints a mosaic
of bright color pools between
those raised lines, until
the whole page reads like
a gorgeous stained glass pane
full of light, and joy.

This image was created in 2011, of all the folded paper drawings I’ve made it remains my favorite, and is the best example of the process to date.
