I have wrapped up this bundle to take part in Disintegration manifestation. It's a project of Seth's which you can read about at The Altered Page. Of course - and I knew this would happen - I got so carried away in the whole thing that now I've wrapped everything up, I can't quite remember what I did include!
Anyway, there is a piece of rusty metal from the beach which I hope might make pleasant bleeds onto some of the other materials which include watercolour paper with gesso daubed about on it, red tissue paper which I expect to weep suitably along with a tea bag and a rosehip tea bag, poetic lines of mine written in soluble ink - one written on a card luggage label, white silk waste, a strange papery bark-like material that came in a bag of off cuts from the artshop clearout, ragged handmade paper, a flattened square of copper, copper wire.......And it all comes wrapped inside blue rag paper, secured with rafia ties and a web of wires.
It will be going to my allotment next time I venture there, where I will tie it to the Rosemary bush just in case a raging storm tries to sweep it away on a journey before May 1st.
Question is, will those bored and curious Crows find it? Should I bury it just in case? Will be thinking on these things as I have a cup of tea.

fabulous! can't wait until May to see all that happens to your wrapped bundle - will be posting mine next week!
Hi Jeane. Thanks! It's a great idea, isn't it? Look forward to reading your bundle post!
Fun project...I like whats in your bundle, will look forward to seeing it again in May!
Hi Jo, Yes, it was fun. Still is, of course! May - feels like a world away, but I'm sure it will soon be here.
Love the look of your bundle Annie. So glad you decided to participate. I cannot wait for May 1!
Thanks for setting it all up, Seth.
What an interesting concept Annie.
I wish it were possible to bundle
up an ex or two and see what
happens, yeah Ex-deconstruction!
HI Cynthia, Well, I guess you could get a bit creative in your imagination!
What a fun idea. I can't wait to see the results. And I'm really smiling at the idea of those crows - I wonder if they have a blog network where they are sharing details of all these bundles and planning their own posts about dismantling them!
Hi Jem, The Crows get up to all sorts of things. It would be great if they could do a helpful bit of weeding in between planning their next tricks. I'm sure news of the bundles will soon be top gossip.
When I read your post for 21 Feb, I thought, aah Annie is doing the disintegration thing with Seth...I wasn't sure though. Now I know :-)
Hi Robyn, Yes. I realized the post on 21 didn't make it clear - however, thanks for scrolling down!
Wow, what a wonderful idea - I shall follow the disintigration (in our house we all say disnitigration, even in public, which can be embarrassing) with interest!
Hi Kay, Thanks for dropping by. Yes, dying to see how it evolves.
Wonderful bundles!
I, too, am wanting to wrap bunches and hang them all over the trees ... . Judith
Thanks for visiting my blog, Judith. Are you going to join in the disintegration project soon?

Hi Wayne. 120 acres!! Wow. Seth's site has loads of stuff you could browse about the project, and you could message him to check about joining.
