Mother Nature is to be our collaborative partner, other participating artists will be our sounding boards, and our inspiration!
In my bundles I placed some old sheet music, large colored post-it notes, some cotton, coffee grounds, colored tissue paper dots, paper flowers, old keys, copper tags, old keyboard parts, printers heat foils, colored construction paper, colored printed papers, and cardboard tubes. I can't wait to see what nature and time does to them all!
The schedule for the project is as follows: ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvMI5TJJjjfc9SYS6VULuCytdq20xn1WV1vOqhCjFZvqUcYyP5CIZntH7e-ibySLzOM8AT3EySSSkf0Pvz0HCADiKCj7bGL-T53JORFGlDWoKr-DoIgW9-AjtT82F0or2gMVcp6R4TJcA/s280/Erosion+Bundle+8.JPG)
I chose to do 3 identical bundles, to allow Mother Nature to tell me WHEN to use the treasures inside. I will take one down on April 15th, but I've tied all my bundles on with cotton string, so when they disintegrate and fall down, I will create with the other bundles. I think it will be interesting to see different time intervals of the disintegration.
On January 1, 2010 - I placed my Erosion Bundles in nature.
In between = we will share thoughts and photos
On April 15, 2010 - I will retrieve my bundle from nature
By August 1, 2010 - I will finish an art piece using my eroded stuff!

I like them! They actually look like they belong there :)
ReplyDeleteAnd they have a Christmasy look :)
Cheers!
Your so clever Kari, I love this idea of using the netting, I think I just may borrow your idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'll enjoy watching their progress and look forward to seeing what they look like at the end of this project.
ReplyDeletegreat fun - mine were too flimsy to hang so I've wedged them behind the clematis !
ReplyDeleteGreat idea using those bag. They look very cool hanging in your trees.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that I love the use of the net bags too! They'll be contained yet mother nature won't be restrained...this should get some great results!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit:)
Great fun! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
ReplyDeleteI am playing with the erosion bundles too. Can't wait to see how it all turns out xJ
