River Run is constructed out of budding Boxelder tree branches that were gathered along the Santa Fe River. It was a beautiful, solitary day walking through the last bit of snow and mud as our small stream hopped its banks during the springtime surge. Bright colored birds were migrating through the area- the sight of which was exciting and humbling at the same time. I’d never noticed the Boxelder tree before and its new pink bud clusters were stunning. The branches were shades of grey and green, with spots and lines that made it look like a topographical map. Blue Thai Unryu mulberry paper is thin and allows for a great deal of light to show through. Lit with a plug-in LED bulb which stays cool to the touch and claims 50,000 hours of life!
