GRATEFUL DEAD DANCING BEARS QUILT SERIES

One of these things was to make a series of pandemic quilts. Please email me for a price at tell myself daily how lucky I am to have not caught Covid and to have discovered worthwhile things to do that helped me process the unprecedented trauma and loss the world is suffering. I spent all weekend sorting, washing, drying and ironing fabrics and blow-drying fur. Much of the denim was gifted to me by friends and neighbors, but the pigeon was inspired by a bag of fabric I found on the street (my lucky day). I can very much identify with this bird, not only because its call was “barf-barf.” I also have the same hairdo. Once native to an island in the Indian Ocean, this very large pigeon was known by the erectile plumage around its head. Due to “island tameness”-it wasn’t used to humans and other large predators-it was an easy target. It became extinct in the 1830s due to deforestation and the introduction of predators by humans. Surrounded by creatures that lived over the past hundreds of millions of years, at the center of the quilt stands the magnificent Mauritius Blue Pigeon. The quilt, which seeks to memorialize just a few of the wonderful animals that once roamed this world, measures 66 x 51 inches and is made from recycled material. Some scientists estimate that each year 8,700 species of animals go extinct. This extinct-animal quilt was inspired by the ongoing sixth mass extinction taking place during the present Holocene epoch as a result of human activity.

To take a closer look at details, head over to my blog. They measure between 12 and 16 inches in height some fit pint-sized liquor bottles, others fit larger wine bottles. These puppets are made from recycled materials because the last thing our environment needs is more waste. Once you feel better you can hide your liquor bottle inside the puppet and pretend that the world is a good and just place. I suggest you have a drink while playing, so you can really let loose. What if animals ruled the world and humans were threatened by them? What if they farmed us in factories and ate us? What if they went fishing for old, white, bald men? Who am I to colonize my squirrels’ backyards? To vent your frustration and act out your anger towards humanity I suggest you pick up one of my puppets and start playing make-believe. This is why I created this series of hand-puppets-cum-liquor-bottle-covers. Can you imagine a life without bird song and bear antics? I cannot. With the sixth mass extinction well underway and the next zoonotic disease pandemic on the horizon the future feels bleak. I wish they’d develop ways to defend themselves against the stupidity of humanity. I want animals to have a fighting chance! I want them to be loved and cherished and recognized for the magical creatures they are.īe it bears, wolves, raptors, walruses, pigs or even squirrels-I feel bad for them. For best results, use fabric lint remover for light pilling at high friction areas.What can I say? The more I read about the abuse of animals and their loss of habitat the more angry I get.
