Day One: (May your days be) Shiny and Bright!
Kris, one of my favorite artists and friend over at brain-bubbles, is continuing the disintigration collaboration created by Seth (of Altered Page fame).
You can read about it here along with links to participating artists.
My first bundle was formed into a copper mesh envelope of sorts, filled with various small metal objects and adorned with a silver bird. Several mesh streamers are attached with eyelets. It is attached to a paper text bundle, wrapped with copper wire and hung from a tree with kitchen twine. As we usually have several major snowstorms each winter, it will be interesting to see the changes that evolve over the next few months. I fear the paper will not fare well but perhaps the inner layers will provide some challenging elements to incorporate into future artwork.
I am planning on forming another bundle to leave at the new house to see what variety the climate differences create.
Stay tuned for updates!
And please be sure to check out Kris' blog - it is not too late to participate!
When the love letter, do you still remember? The plot of the story is me!!!!!

Your bundle looks wonderful, love the copper mesh envelope, should be interesting to see what the copper do to the things inside.

I love this erosion idea. I haven't done anything on the Altered page blog yet but will when I can.
It will be interesting to see what happens to this piece with time.
love,
Erika

Your bundle looks great in the "before" shot and I bet it looks even better "after"! Looking forward!

I like the idea of comparing two different environments with erosion bundles. As I told Kris, I have figured out I am my very own erosion bundle.
