Unfortunately they have a tendency to look like large picnic baskets… However, those felt shrouds look so much more interesting. I can understand you wanting to touch them :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490102426728960849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-54411996606619033522016-05-11T06:06:47.570-06:002016-05-11T06:06:47.570-06:00We're so fortunate to have a valley rich with ...We're so fortunate to have a valley rich with artists and artistry here, Jackie. I'm still agog at the Call & Response challenge which brought out over 50 artists from so many disciplines, and so many more who weren't able to attend the call. Perhaps it is our relative isolation here which makes it an ideal place to create, but we certainly have our share and then some! xoWin Dinn, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03175735509853498545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-37544311873596790722016-05-11T04:29:33.133-06:002016-05-11T04:29:33.133-06:00How cool is that felt work Win!!

I (in all seriousness) told all my kids I was going to tie-dye a sheet for them to wrap me in when I die, and for everyone to get together and dig the hole when the time comes, but no one seems to up with that idea . . . <br />The End.<br /><br />Anyway, if you resisted touching that shroud, you are a much stronger woman than I! That looks like a wonderful exhibit.<br /><br />:)trisha toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023120562709336127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-30277977042946579982016-05-08T12:31:02.489-06:002016-05-08T12:31:02.489-06:00What a unique and interesting collection of art.

I agree about the coffins - such a waste of resources and a big business for companies. You pay thousands for a coffin, only to burn it! How mindless! But because everybody does it that way, we don't challenge the tradition. We really should!
