friday evening
the decaying corpse
of a raccoon from last summer
someone made a tiny golden offering
north country boro!
hand made paper, shifu, artists' books, north country living, and some words
hand made paper, shifu, artists' books, north country living, and some words
north country boro - good practical stuff.

ReplyDeleteLately I have been dyeing bones, I wrap them with leaves and string or wool and pop them in the dyepot they come up beautiful I will take a pic today and put them up on the blog. That racoon would be mighty fine in a new cloak of colour. Very La Loba.
the juxtaposition of the corpse with it's kernel of corn--a last meal tribute--and the boro'd work clothes having a new life--those elements together: an epic journey, a visual short story.
ReplyDeletems., i like where you take the story
ReplyDeletei need to see this dyed bones idea--it sounds right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteim liking the layered theme here: critter adding a kernel to a critter, patches layered on tears and thin spots, people's ideas layering too
joni, do you know trace's site--soewn earth? i might try it out, but mostly save bones to make folders and tools with.
