A volcano becomes an island of forests,
in the middle of a mighty river.

and now the nations of the world come to us.

This is one solid piece of Birchbark found in the woods by my friend Libby.
(Thanks Libby.)
When it was glued down on the plywood it became like a map or a landscape painting.
I included small interventions to distinguish the mountains.
Details will follow.
