It was a powerful process. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe you can buy real human bones?!

It almost sounds like the finger bone was starting to haunt you, and maybe would continue to bother you placed in this piece.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021074096150689759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456780.post-81052145728524518332007-12-12T18:44:00.000-08:002007-12-12T18:44:00.000-08:00Awe inspiring...so powerful.What can I say?

The significance being- the finger bone begins your story, a lot of stories actually. Do I want to see it? I don't know. The truth is, I get weirded out when I'm in an antique store surrounded by dead people stuff and this is the ultimate in dead people stuff.Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916328047614237836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456780.post-90646907148081416432007-12-11T03:40:00.000-08:002007-12-11T03:40:00.000-08:00This one is so...crap I need a better vocab...deep...This one is so...crap I need a better vocab...deep. I love the work, I would have used the finger bone, but then I would have felt totally weird about it being around my home. It's not the putting together of the work sometimes that gives me the willies...it's learning what I was doing in the first place. I often finish a work and then learn what I was saying or thinking with the work...for the Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15354917707897522013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456780.post-63928389369029561012007-12-10T18:22:00.000-08:002007-12-10T18:22:00.000-08:00You chickened out with the chicken bone- put the f...You chickened out with the chicken bone- put the finger bone in!
