the hands from an old broken pocket watch made the finishing touch for “Marking Time Counting Crows”
Seven for a secret not to be told
7 crow feathers, antique parchment, thread, lichen
an old padlock with a key made from a grape vine tendril, eelskin, guitar string, thread and glass beads
adds weight for balance
x fingers will get better photos in the gallery with good light and white walls in two short months !
picking up the 100 Crow Books from the printer today, the decks are cleared for the hand colouring and attaching the 100 heart talisman bookmarks
the invitations are all printed & ready to mail out in mid July, this is getting very real!

It's Crow Time 
Very excited for you, Mo And for Rod and the feline muse.:-)
when I started this blog in July 2011 I dreamed of this moment in time!
looks GREAT
thanks Jane, working on a big scale has always been quite a challenge for me as I love focusing on the fine details but this one fell together fast!
Great………………
am sooo excited!
how proud, how exciting and real it becomes!
so happy i could follow great part of the process..
thanks and good luck
only a couple more hours to wait til we see the 100 books!
A major milestone … can feel the vibe all the way on this side
it is, my hair is standing on end with the nervous excitement!
Beautiful work, Mo! Can’t wait to see it!
it will be a party!
There has to be a ‘happy dance’ happening this Friday afternoon. …..
what an achievement. Well done all.
they look amazing, almost too exciting!
I can hear the electricity from here, Mo. Congrats—and my gawdz, kudos on the hard work, patience and skill, bringing it to fruition, both you and your man.
we’re on the home stretch!
It fell together easily because it is so right. How wonderful to reach this goal and what a labour of love! Well done! I’m feeling the excitement.
thanks for visiting Robyn!
congratulations to you and to all others who are involved. It is getting very real for sure.
thanks for the encouragement Judy!
woohoo!
Hey Jude! and so it goes… thanks for all the good vibes through the years of this making!
All excited for the things to come !
love the pocket watch hands 😉 you always find special things !!!
that old pocket watch was given to me by my Uncle Stan, a New York City fireman when I was 17, he thought if I knew the time it would help me find a job but I overwound & broke it within one week, have never owned another watch…!)
There is excitement and wonder here today!
it feels so amazing to be working on the first copy this morning, the heart talisman is tied in & am halfway through the hand colouring of no 1, only 99 & 1/2 to go!
dreamtime come to life! I can feel the weight of that lock.
that lock used to keep the lid on the Gourd of Transformation until the mortuary beetles ate the bat wings in 2009!
You have every right to be excited – what glorious creations!
let the good times roll!
so wish we weren’t half a globe apart… very exciting
(((Dee))) we need a Matter Transfer Unit!
Wonderful magic being performed here, Mo! I’ve checked my phone calendar (again) to be sure I have the date and times of the opening and I’m determined to make it. What an exhibition this will be.
Yay!
Congratulations, this is very exciting!
it is!
Scrolling back to find your constructions for the show. This piece looked absolutely amazing on the white wall. Phew Mo! You have worked so hard! Well done!
