Dearest Ruth,

I LOVE what Bloodlines is doing!! What a perfect solution! And what a magical connection you made! I love it, love it!!

Have you done anything to those white egg cells so they won't hatch?

Send close up of Descent. Can't tell what is the descending part, wool or beads. Either way, it's good.

more soon,

love mom

Dear Ruth,

What was I thinking. It is very early in the morning here--- I got the close-up of Descent myself.

Wow. How did you do that? Yarn stiffened with something... and the hornet still in there. Good grief. What a unique brooch. You are really onto a good series here. Fantastic.

Love, mom

Dear Mom,
The bottom part of Descent is copper--it's an electroformed bit of crocheted cotton string. I had made a few of those back in Seattle, but hadn't yet done anything with them.

Both brooches have dead wasps in them. Just luck of the draw, really, that each one had one in there tight enough to stay. Nothing is hatching, trust me.
Love ruth
