First, the important dates:
January 1, 2010 - place bundle in nature
In between = share thoughts and photos
April 15, 2010 - retrieve bundle from nature
August 1, 2010 - finish art piece using your eroded stuff and rejoice
Below are photos of the items I've included in my bundle. Some of these items are twine, copper foil, gilded leaf, a drawing from my sketch pad, a sliver from a 2X4, a paperclay heart wrapped in wire, watch parts, old magazine pages and assorted pictures.
I then wrapped my bundle in the old magazine pages. These pages were so brittle they started to break before I was even finished. I tied everything together with my twine and realized this bundle wouldn't last the night.
So then I wrapped that bundle in a piece of copper mesh and tied it off with red wire. I love this copper mesh and use it often in my mixed media pieces. I'm excited to see how it weathers.
The bundle is hung outside my kitchen window on a sheppard's crook. I'll be able to observe it every morning when I'm making our coffee.

Your bundle looks very cool hanging there! Can't wait to see how that mesh weathers. I bet it won't have a shiny spot on it by spring :)
SO COOL!! I can't wait to get mine together with the boys!! Hoping tomorrow.
This is a very cool idea - I can't wait to see what happens to it! I think something like this would be fun, but then once I retrieved the bundle, I'd have no idea what to do with it! :-)
Wonderful bundle you have made, lots of different thinks, it will be interesting to see what you make of it. Thanks for comment on my blog.
Looks like a present! :)
