The Bone Collector

Cotton, bone, wood and brass

Brooch, cotton

Last month, I remembered I saw a dead fox on a dirt path last summer. When I saw it it was in a very bad shape, been laying there for a few rainy days and tractors had driven on it ...
So I decided to take a "little pilgrimage" to the dirt path. Nothing in sight ... then I spotted a white yellow thing in the dirt... I dug a little and found the treasure! Vertebraes, pieces of the jaw, a couple of leg bones, the hip bones, ribs ... I think I have at least half of the skeleton. While I was digging, a man who was walking his dog passed by me... I said hi and then he said hi. When he came back I was still digging so he asked me what I was doing ... "oh just digging out a fox skeleton" and he said "oh well..." and went ...I'm sure he thought I was some kind of weirdo! ;) Pity he did not ask what I was going to do with it ...

fabric brooches



Wowww ! Thanks to this awsome internet provider I have I realised I was addicted to the net... And my awsome provider made me go "cold turley" for 3 weeks for some very weird technical reasons( well not so cold turkey , I managed to surf a bit with my ipod when I was in town). Now for no reason the net is back ( though the said on monday " not before mid april" ... go figure). But enough is enough and soon we will have a new provider, one that does not cut the connection without warning ... well one can hope...


This said , being without the net can be a blessing ... I made tons of new jewelry and took pictures of it and learn to use my new photo program... I also watch a lot of DVD's ( a thing I don't do often).


Thanks for all the previous comments! I missed you all ! Stay tuned for more jewelry! ;)
