I had this awful dream that watermelon started growing wild in my backyard. That isn’t the awful part. I was so ecstatic! Jimbob and I ran out and immediately started cutting into one and it had a chicken carcass in it. It was so disgusting looking. We cut into another, and another carcass. They all had chicken carcass in them. I don’t know if this is a sign of my time clock screaming at me or that I really want to get chickens. (Jimbob has promised to build me a chicken coop every year for my birthday.  I sit up late at night looking at chickens from my favorite chicken site. Jimbob calls it my chicken porn.) So anyhow, while looking to see if anyone else has had this dream and just happened to make art about it that I could post on the blog. I found this delicious photo:

And, while I know I’m supposed to blog about jewelry, making jewelry, fashion, and business, I couldn’t help but share the amazing article that came with it about what to do with your food scraps. (another obsession of mine.)

Chicken carcass necklace anyone?

Jimbob has made jewelry out of the chicken bones I leave on the window sills in our house. (not the actual bones, but cast the bones into silver.) There! I talked about jewelry! . . .

scrappity do!
