I'm a vegetarian. No matter how beautiful real animal skins look I always feel guilty enjoying them too much knowing what went into making them. That is why I was so excited to walk by the "Big Cats and Tiger pelt project" by Ruth Marshall. These are all textile exact pelts of and individual large cat residing at the Bronx Zoo. If you are in Williamsburg you should definitely stop by the Dam Stuhltrager Gallery. The address is 38 Marcy Ave, Brooklyn. The show is running April 10-May 17.
I never leave home without wearing my bangles. If I do I feel totally naked. It might be from the lack of weight on my arm. Or the lack of the clanking noise they make when I walk. I have a huge collection that I love to mix and match.
Charley Harper was a artist based in Cincinnati. Most of his art was "nature inspired" which I love. Based on his content he did allot of work with The National Park Service, the Cincinnati Zoo and the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary.
