And so it continues......

These fragments I have shored against my ruin....
T.S.Eliot The Wasteland


To live is to leave traces....
Walter Benjamin


3 weeks to go.....so much to do.....

10 mice, I magpie and a thrush .........then taxidermy over....well for now.........(the cat stole one of my stuffed mice!)

Need to finish putting 22ct moongold leaf (a mixture of gold, palladium and silver)on calf's head....(only wish it would stop smelling......it's been boiled, soaked in ammonia, dried, soaked in petrol, dried .....and still it smells..... just hope it wears off before exhibition)

About a quarter of the way through making a chicken bone chandelier

Not sure what to do with the pigeon wings?! or dried roses....

And need to start working on display.....(although John will help with that thank goodness) I want plinths and display cases so as to make a visual and theoretical link with both the museum and the church (i.e vitrine/reliquary)
