e’re participating in Chicago Zine Fest in March and in addition to making some how-to zines with some friends I’m also working on these bookmarks made from security envelopes. These are made from a bunch of different envelopes pieced together and sewn with red thread.
By the way, I also started reading this book about pigeons that Bill and I got as a wedding gift. We had read a few pages of it together on our honeymoon and then got busy and put it down. It is fascinating, but also kind of hard to read from a vegan perspective: there’s a lot of talk of killing, eating, using, and abusing pigeons. But in the end I’m trying to focus on the fascinating story of human’s relationship with this beautiful animal. I have 2 pigeons beaking (the beginning part of their mating process) tattooed on my chest, and have long been fascinated with the beautiful aspects of these “rats of the sky” as they are often referred to in large cities like Chicago. I’m only a couple chapters in but so far it is an extremely interesting read.
