עשה לך רב וקנה לך חבר... In Three Versions

In these pieces I wrote out a passage from Mishna Avot

עשה לך רב וקנה לך חבר - Make yourself a rabbi and buy yourself a friend.

I've used it a few time in gifts for teachers and mentors.

 octagonal paper-cut, 9 inches across, two cut layers

8x10 inches, one cut layer, mounted on a background, with a thin border in between (third paper but I don't think it would be fair to call it another layer)

This one I already posted when I first started this blog, but it fit here as well.

octagonal paper-cut, 9 inches across, three cut layers, plus a background

This one has the complete mishna-

יהושע בן פרחיה אומר:

עשה לך רב וקנה לך חבר 

והוי דן את כל האדם לכף זכות

Yehoshuah Ben Perachia says:

Make yourself a rabbi and buy yourself a friend

and judge everybody favourably
