I really love paper/fiber art, something of a holdover from my last relationship - my partner was huge on book arts and papermaking was a big part of that.
I am trying to remember the name of an artist in Portland (total fraggin hippie:) who makes paper art out of paper made from the various bits that animals leave behind. Hair, excrement, cud and her especial fav, owl vomit - for the bones...
