I'm participating in a really unique and creative challenge called The Erosion Bundle Project. The idea was originally from Seth at The Altered Page.
The idea is to create a small bundle out of whatever you want and then hang, place, bury or submerge the bundle and watch mother nature have her way with it. The due date for putting your bundle out is Jan. 1, 2010. We have such mild winters here in South Texas that I decided to get mine started now so it could have longer out in the weather. Everyone in the project then take pictures of their progress along the way and removes them April 15th, 2010. Once we remove our bundles we'll have until August 2010 to finish art pieces using our eroded items from the bundles. Pretty neat huh!
If you'd like to participate in this challenge check out The Erosion Bundle Blog, and leave Kris Henderson a post saying you are in. Kris is the inspiration behind this project.
Below is a picture of my bundle. I have it all wrapped in white fabric and tied up with purple fabric. Inside is felt, coffee filters, a cork washers, raffia, fabric paper, a brochure a postcard, stamps, a piece of baked polymer clay, bottle caps, paper beads, another piece of fabric that was bleach discharged, tulle, ribbon, a silk flower petal, 2 confetti eggs, a metal spring, a feather, 2 coasters that are cardboard, paper ephemera, colored foil and more odds and ends.
I'm not sure where it's going to be placed yet, hanging from a tree, in my compost tumbler, sitting on my patio wall, buried in my garden or where. Hummmm! What do you think???
I will keep you posted on the progress of this project and photos of my bundle and please let me know if you join in the fun! This will be very interesting! Ohbtw, I heard about this from Bea at Dog in the Hole studio. She is full of good info about lots of things. You need to pop on over to her blog sometime.

WOW, what a wonderful selection of things you have put in your bundle. Last year, I came late to Seth's project, so I did a quick bundle and put it at the edge of the fire pit. Snow, ice and the occasional buring did a real number on it. What fun! It's like being in 4th grade again,heh? :)Bea
This sounds like fun Yvonne. I'm going to be interested to see what the end result it (and where you end up putting it).
This is more than I can pass up...bye I'm on my way over to the other site to sign up. I saw the original (Seth's) one but at the tail end. This is a good thing!
What a great idea! I just discovered and am enjoying your blog!
That's very creative. I might see what I can find and make a bundle. I'll let you know.
