An intrigueing thought.

As I may of mentioned before, my project is partially spurred on by the loss of my boyfriends dad. Possibly one of the strangest things i have ever witnessed, the movement of somones ashes. When the urn was purchased (its actually a rather pretty ginger jar, very similar to a traditional urn) the first comment his mum mad was 'well...it doesnt match the living room' is therea chance I can ever win? probably not.
The interesting part was Alex (my boyfriend) and his mum transferring the ashes from the bag he came back in to the urn. To be honest i presumed that the obvious thing to do would not be to open the bag they were contained in, apparently not. I sat back on the otherside of the long room to avoid breathing any of it in (weve had enough of that with the volcano!), whilst the ashes were 'poured' from one vessel to another. some went on the floor and table. So what to do? get a dust pan and brush of course. This they did... i was intrigued of course, to notice that this went on the garden whilst the rest remained in the urn atop the firplace. Alexs dad no doubt would of laughed.

My hands smell of death.

(a goose i found some time ago..probably not something id scavenge off though, it did smell horriffic!)

Not something one would say in polite conversaion, nor is it something one is encouraged to say in a police interview, but yes, my hand smells of death. This is due to my newest erm.. aquaitences, two whole rabbits for the exhibition both of which i have managed to fit into my freezer after preparing for their performance. Im sure that tomorow there will be a ver interesting video on here of the process. The process was to make a small incision along the rabbits underbelly (with an extremely sharp knife otherwise putting it together properlycould be a problem) and to pull out the flesh, skeleton and guts (and maybe chase around shocked housemates). Once the cavity has been extensively washed, the fur shampooed and the inner skin heavily salted another small incision can be made along the top side of the gut. This is for the small apple tree to go inside, once the roots have been pushed inside, and the rabbits skin filled up with soil to the correct amount of its anatomy the lower belly can be sewn up with fine white cotton (so its surgery cannot be seen). This whole process takes around two hours, the removal of the skeleton is the most difficult part as the head, feet and tail bones must remain in tact or the result will look 'deflated'. Hence the reason why I got two, incase the first goes horrifically wrong!
Its times like these that i question both my sanity and my memory, i bought some leeks for tea and cannot find them AT ALL!!!
Look out for the video tomorrow!
