MOHAWK -- A stained-glass snowman with wings, a birch bark and driftwood duck, a bird cradled in a nest -- These are just three of the decorations made recently in Keweenaw Krayons' classes for youth and adults held at the Ramblin' Rose Arts Center in Mohawk. The decorations, which, to date, include five birch bark and driftwood ornaments and twelve stained-glass pieces, will hang on the 2001 United States Capitol Holiday Tree, or "People's Tree," a tree from the Ottawa National Forest.
