Human Heart A Day*26

My gosh today was a long one, but not your usual Australia Day...Well not for me anyway..Yesterday mum found me a present, a beautifully almost mummified little bird...So I spent the whole afternoon/evening meticulously scraping dried skin and ligaments to reveal its beautiful bones..Never done this before so Im still not sure if its going to work or if in three months it'll waste away and fall apart..But was a good learning experience...So todays heart isn't actually one I made, Its one I found...Inside of the bird its heart was perfectly perserved inside its rib cage...Well at least I think its a heart.. 


Mummified Bird Heart


Me at our kitchen table cleaning the bird skeleton... Just realised even this photo has a heart, just not a human or animal one...My pretty heart/peace sign tattoo in honour of my poppa...
