The Craftsman - a new song


My husband, Mark, has recently been involved with creating video content for the marriage movement and the recovery movement.  In both cases, brokenness is a big topic.  I have been challenged to dig deep and to create visual imagery through song about redeeming lost and broken things. 
We have personally been inspired by the art of Rich Dunbrack, an artist / furniture craftsman whose work will make you smile (www.thethievingmagpie.com).  He is known for taking old, forgotten, damaged goods and integrating them into his work for functional art.  Mark is in the process of creating a story of redemption by using video imagery of Rich’s work and tying it into the recovery process.  Here is one song I recently wrote for this series on recovery.  It’s called “The Craftsman”, along with pictures I've taken of Rich's artwork.  Stay tuned for the recovery video which is in production.
