I’m not sure if this gaping chasm counts as a “neckline.”

Mother Eagle Embroidery

Posted in anatomy, craft, jewelry with tags , , on May 1, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

You won’t find me embroidering daisies and picnic baskets onto my linens. Mother Eagle is really more my style.

How gorgeous is this miniature silk ribcage on a handmade lace cotton panel?

All kinds of anatomical (and other) fine treats to be found in her collection of work…

She places some of her tiny pieces in jewelry as well.

Have a look…

Where does Dana find these great visuals? What a brain! Such insight! How I miss reading her comments and just what really drew her in. But until then, feast your eyes, and share with us what you think. Enjoy!

Off with her head!   Vanité, The Maiden is a life-size Waxwork Mix Media sculpture. If you would like to get into the head of Sigrid Sarda, it may not be as easy as you would think. Her website states that she “constructs life-size human figures made of wax incorporating human remains in the tradition of the doll as a magical object. The figures become talismans, reliquaries housing human bones.” What do you say to that?

The Real Story of Where I’ve Been

Posted in anatomy, announcement, art, macabre, medicine with tags , , , , on March 23, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

Hello! How I’ve missed it here! It’s time to get FAR more personal than I ever thought I would in public. I feel I owe a further explanation to the loyal and wonderful readers of this site.

For those who don’t know, I’ve been too ill to communicate for the better part of a year. Severe Central Sensitization Pain Syndrome (the worst case 50+ doctors have ever seen) was compounded by this. And these tragedies were recently complicated by a near-death emergency surgery incident.

You can read my dad’s previous hospital updates HERE and listen to an embarrassing, rambling voice recording of more details (can’t type) that I sent to my closest friends HERE.

The road ahead is long and grueling, but I’m ready for the fight of a lifetime…mostly because of the amazing people in my life, and unrelenting desire to be of service to humanity.

I want to give credit to my amazing friends for making and displaying this motivational graphic. It warmed my heart so beautifully…I’m still not over the wonderful surprise! Gets me every time I see it…

THANK YOU for supporting me. My love and gratitude are beyond all measure. I still cannot respond to comments, but I appreciate them with all my heart.

Special thanks to my incredible proxy blogger, who keeps my dreams alive when my body cannot do so. What a precious gift.
