Disintergration Revealed
May 1 has come and it is time for the Disintegration Reveal started by Seth Apter last January. My bundle has been through the New Mexico sun, rain, snow, and canyon winds. When I opened it three hornets came out of it. That would not have been so bad except I had already taken it into the studio. They were not happy but I was able to get them back outside. My papers came through the ordeal quite well. They have faded and weathered but they still look strong. I have saved all the strings. Now I"ll have to figure out a cool project to make out of this stuff.

your pile looks like it did disintegrate a bit! seems like many didnt! materials too long lived! lyle
HORNETS!! Who knew this could possibly be hazardous! Glad you made it though ok. Lovely aged bundle you have there..
wonderful weathering ' lol' about the hornets :)
hornets-yuk! mine had ants~
one of mine had squirrel poop. not saying which one..... and I'm trying to forget about it.
Looks great! I had spiders.
Lovely aged paper....close shave with the hornets :-)
great story about the hornets! My bundle is still outside because of the wildlife in it. Thanks for stopping by my project photos. Looks like you got some nice wear on your papers, and maybe even the beginning of a hornet's nest.
Oh boy. Wouldn't it have been great if you'd had hornets nest stuff in there! Maybe they thought it was a ready-made nest.
i had sluggy things, like the inside of a snail. . .but other fun story... pecking at our front door. a wild free form of very 3D brances in a wreath form hung there, and birds had decided to begin their nest in it!! we took it down, but i've been meaning to photograph it..i will. and, i love the colors in your piece, too. lovely spring sunlight on those spring green pages!!
Hornets, oh my! I found a yellow jacket once in a gardening glove well past summer, and it wasn't happy. Me either, after I stuck my hand in the glove! Glad you escaped OK. Thanks for your comment. Wasn't the Disintegration fun? Your papers look great. Good thing the birds didn't get your string for nests! - Jeanne in Oregon
So now we look forward to August! I had some little spiders in mine...glad no hornets or sluggy things!
hornets in your studio = Oh My! you are a cool cucumber! Lovely bundle, can't wait for August!
I'm really enjoying how everyones bundles have turned out. I think we are all a bit surprized at how strong paper is, and how quickly they get taken up as homes for bugs and other things. I got slugs and slaters, but they didn't stay long
You are ever so kind to let the hornets live .... It will be fun to see what sort of beautiful works of art emerge :)
Great blog, and very robust bundle. Hornets heh? You are much braver than me- I'd be off down the road!
Wow--cool! Hornets!
Can't wait to see what you do with your goodies...
Looks like you'll have lots of materials to create with!!! I only had a little taupe colored spider jump out to surprise me....yikes on the hornets!
so interesting that so many of us had insects take up residence (just a couple of tiny spiders for me).
have fun creating!
You've definitely had some success with your lovely bundle, I look forward to seeing the next stage.
hi ginny- thanks for visiting to see my bunlde. i'm hoping that when i take mine apart i'll see a bit more disintegration like you did. who would have thought that paper would be so tough? looking forward to phase 2!
Hello ginny, I am trying to update my computer skills daily but I do so love viewing a couple of our collaborations nightly and I do feel a connection in Faith and Trust. Where we all unite? Where will we all go? Imagine and Live In Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
yikes! hornets would scare me if they popped out of my bundle. i love how yours has turned out! what fun all of those wonderful pages and pieces will be to work with.
Glad the hornets didn't make you suffer for your art!! Your papers look interesting. Thanks for visiting.
Cool bundles I am so impressed how unique each participants bundles are. What to make???
when my class brought their projects inside we had all kinds of insect life to re situate! If only I had read your post first we might have opened them outside!!!
