In the Year of the Rat I discovered the skeleton in the cupboard

RATBONES

This perfectly formed rat skeleton was revealed by the guys who pulled out my very old kitchen prior to installing a new one. There’s something beautiful (as well as creepy) about the underlying structure of a living creature.
Kindof like a sculpture made by nature.

    That is an amazing thing to find in your kitchen.
    Would look great preserved within epoxy-resin.

    I really like the way you’ve positioned it – the tail echoes the crack in the rock and the head looks pillowed on the pine needles there (or whatever the brown stuff is!). It almost looks as if it was climbing the wall of rock and was frozen. Nicely done!

    Thanks Cindy. I see that now, climbing the rock..also I just noticed the cracks form a rune.

    Wonderful find! Looks like it’s still trying to climb right out of the photo. Nicely cropped, too.
