Hoops (still in lack of a better name...)

This is that kind of project, where you start out with great enthusiasm, just to figure out that you really don´t know what to do - and then you stay like that for a loooooong time.

I think I bought these hoops a couple of year ago, and then they have been waiting in the corner of my livingroom, doing nothing but collecting dust.

Now I finally got something made. That´s fine. I just haven´t figured out yet what it is..... hence the lack of a proper title and explanation of what this is about.

The materials are hoops (made by DaneWood), silk in 2 colours, dried flowers, bird skeleton, fish skeleton, lacquer with Remazol dye (a way to colour lacquer and keep it transparent at the same time), filtet wool and horsehair, human teeths, printed text ("I have no skin, and therefore I can´t stop people from touching me inside"), pig intestine, Paverpol sculpture glue, glass beads formed as tears, white horsehair and a artificial eye (they took a lot of money for shipping it to Denmark, som I´m NOT going to advertise that company).

So in lack of an explanation, I´ll just give you the photos.

Flying low

I´m still here. Sort of. I think.

I´m having a slipped disc in my back and one more on the way to slip, and a lot of pain, and I´m waiting to find out if I´m going to have an operation or not. So it´s really hard to find energy to be creative... and even positive.

I did have a very good experience during Easter though. I stumbled across Etsy.com and their Homemade section, and came across a LOT of inspiriring stuff. Mostly clothes, which made me take out my sewing machines again  for the first time in years, to make some clothes for myself.

And I bought some very small glass bottles and some leather necklace cords to hang them in, so you can wear them around your neck.

The glass bottles arrived in the mail today, and for a little while I managed to forget my back and leg pain. I put in all kinds of stuff, paper with text, my own hair, animal bones, freshwater pearls, gold glitter, white horsehair. I´m thinking of them as small talismans in some way.
I´m still waiting for the leather cords with anticipation, so I can open my Etsy shop. I´ll let you know here when I do:-)
