Betsy Walton

This is an incredibly small sampling of Portland, Oregon artist Betsy Walton's work. Sweet stars of Liza... I'm utterly smitten. I purposely didn't include my favorite piece. It just so happens to be for sale. I'm hoping...

PULP miscellania

I was fortunate enough to stumble across this curious shop (PULPmiscellania)on etsy. Check them out! Browsing their assortment of found bones brought back memories of scavenging through our woods as a child. I especially loved searching underneath our great horned owl's nest for pellets. We would (bear with me) take them back home to dissect. Inside we found skeletal systems of their prey ranging from mice to small rabbits. It was a surprisingly clean and sterile activity. I found it comparable to opening gifts at Christmas. Now living in the city, I'm short on owl pellets. Thank goodness there are shops such as these to acquire tiny bones through. I find them truly lovely and somewhat chic.
