To all the pain monsters living and munching in vertebrae: This is your shrine. 🤭

PS: Thanks to @eclectech who showed me that *everything* can have eyes. 😁

🧵 2/ More #perlage #flowers. These are made by me in another technique which allows to work on different and smaller forms. I reconstructed the technique thanks to many photos of historical findings. Why is the #craft disappearing? It is extremely labour-intensive, the material (usually from manufacturers) is very expensive and you need a lot of it. People no longer want to pay a reasonable price for such art.

🧵1/ It's only dark and grey here. Time for some #bloomscrolling and a #coloursplash. In France, such #flowers were made in the 19th century (until plastic times) for grave wreaths and religious art, the #klosterarbeiten. We had two different #perlage techniques depending on the region. These are reconstructions. People knowing the techniques become rare.

Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar. I volunteer in a #museum and #culturalHeritage centre. Marvelling at historical pieces often turns into inspiration. Sometimes I experiment with #perlage. Most of the old techniques are now forgotten and have to be painstakingly reconstructed. Here I tested simple 😁 bead embroidery.

Embroidered Treasures – Petra van Cronenburg

Oh ! un bon plan chez Action pour qui aime faire du perlage : un coffert à 6€ avec 42 couleurs de perles de rocailles fines dans des petites boîtes.

ça vaut le coup c'est encore moins cher que d'acheter des lots sur amazon. de quoi faire de jolis tissages et broderies !

Today, I finished a new one of my #BiodiversityShrines feat. Jordanita subsolana, a #butterfly now extinct in our region. My #shrines are a mixture of #paperArt #nature, elements of #culturalHeritage materials and "civilisation" #waste, like the 8 cm wide cheese box and the precious #plastic-cement-waste. My inspirations come from #klosterarbeiten, #reliquaries #naturalHistory #museums and my brain.

My work today on the #BiodiversityShrines was mainly the old technique of #perlage = #beading. On social media it's often called #FrenchBeading, but in France, we don't say that. Differences in beading technique are less national than temporal. Victorian techniques, f. e., differed from those of the Renaissance. Perlage was traditionally used for costumes, headdresses or so-called #klosterarbeiten like #reliquaries.

Attached: 1 image 1/ O holy laziness! I decided not to go to the museum because rainy 14°C is not so much comfortable for sitting outside. I will enjoy the pleasant coolness in my studio before the heat returns. My excuse: So many #BiodiversityShrines for the exhibition in October are not ready yet. (Look on the hashtag for more). So I'm going to skewer #endangered species (don't worry, it's #PaperArt). #NatureArt #assemblages #artistsOfMastodon #EcoArt #activism #BiodiversityLoss #ClimateAction #FolkArt #kinship
