Medium: watercolor pens on paper. 11" x 14". (*Prints may be ordered in a variety of smaller and larger sizes)
This drawing was created over a two week period when I visited Blue Zebra Lodge on Nankoma Island just off the shores of Salima, Malawi. It's a great place to drink in the natural beauty of Malawi and yet is only a two-hour drive from Lilongwe.
"I watch from afar as thou weavest
Thy nest, one thin thread at a time
With absolute precision of the finest
Toolmaker that ever lived, mastery
In all its perfection, weaving in and
Weaving out, creating thy home from
From nothing but nature’s ware and
Thy finest talents. Oh! Dear bird."
-excerpt from "Ode to a Weaver Bird" by Vonita Buirski
