| A North Texas Artist Makes Wearable Art Out of Animal Bones - Dallas Observer Posted: 26 Jul 2019 02:00 AM PDT At a distance, he looks like an old homeless man with a cyborg's eye and in desperate need of a cane. His spine protrudes down his back like Godzilla's back spikes. His antlers cast shadows on the ground. Hunched over, he forever reaches for something that only he can see. He's frozen in place and in time as if he were taken from a photograph. Sculpted from construction foam, chicken wire, bailing wire and a buck skeleton, he could have passed for one of Egypt's animal-headed deities in the back room of his creator's house on the outskirts of Dallas. Inspired by Cernunnos, the Celtic horned god of fertility, he looks like the zombified version of him, or possibly a prop from Hellraiser or The Wicker Man movies. Cernunnos is just one of several bone art pieces Andrea Christensen has made available on Scrimshaw's Facebook page. She also offers bone art costumes and jewelry for sale. She will be showcasing her bone art in late September at Haute Noir, a biannual dark fashion show at The Church in Dallas that celebrates alternative culture and drag. Last year's dark fashion show showcased designers such as Hell On Heels Couture, RITUAL Fashion and Elizabeth Rist and performers Kilo Kikii, RoseGold Blunt, LadyBoi, Dru Holiday and Mulan Alexander. "(Cernunnos) just kind of came to me," she says. "I had this skeleton rotting in the back, and I was like, 'I want to make a prop. I want to do something different.' And I have a passion for mythology. So I just thought, What if I made a corrupted version of this popular Pan-like deity?" A Wisconsin native, Christensen has been collecting bones since she was 6 years old. "I spent a lot of time alone and created my own worlds," she says. "As a kid, I thought they were beautiful aesthetically as well as special because they were once alive." After high school, Christensen spent time on the road, looking for the right people and trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her art. She traveled around the country, landed in Seattle for a time and eventually followed a friend to Dallas in 2016. "I ended up finding that here of all places," she says from her home in Shady Shores, a small lakeside community where she lives with her roommates Andy Arrasmith and Emma Campbell, both of whom are horror artists. At that time, Arrasmith and Campbell were running Dark Path, an outdoor haunted house in the dark forest near Hickory Creek in Denton where the haunted Goatman's Bridge is located. Christensen went to work as a scare actor and enjoyed it, but she prefers working behind the scenes and making horror art for people. She hit it off with Arrasmith and Campbell, who owns Pink Mist FX and sings for The Unmarked Graves, and they ended up becoming roommates and started showing her how to sculpt masks and other FX props. Shortly after her stint in the haunted house industry, Christensen decided to take the white tail deer bones she'd collected over the years from her father's land in Michigan and weave them into her first fashion piece: an Egyptian Seth concept that resembles a rib-chest piece from one of the aliens in Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant. "I just felt the need to be creative," Christensen says of working in the haunted house industry. "It kind of inspired me, the macabre but elegant sort of thing." Christensen wore her first bone art piece out a couple of times to local clubs, and people started asking her about it and wanting to know if she could make one for them. But finding enough bones to create more art pieces was problematic in this part of North Texas where most of the woodlands have disappeared under development. She started hitting up local hunters and a taxidermist not far from her house for bones. The taxidermist thought her request for bones was weird and didn't quite understand what she was doing. Eventually, she was able to explain it, and he started giving her discarded bones from bobcats, deer and other wildlife that didn't survive the winter or a hunter's bullet. "(The art) is unique because it's not something that I'm casting," she says. "I can't make duplicates. There is going to be variation working with natural material. It is a little more difficult and not many people do it." She spends about 72 hours or longer creating a piece and uses anywhere between 20 and 50 bones to create one. The number of bones usually depends on the section of anatomy that she is creating. For example, her full torso rib piece also has a portion of the spinal column included. She compares it to taxidermy articulations and tries to make it anatomically correct. Making bone art pieces for people caught the attention of the Haute Noir event organizers, and they invited her to showcase her bone art or "Scrimshaw," as she calls it, at their upcoming fashion show in late September. She also sold some Scrimshaw pieces to the Cutting Edge, one of the best haunted houses in the U.S. and the world's largest, according to its website. About a week ago, Christensen went to work with the taxidermist not far from her home. She says the work is similar to FX special effects. She's learned how to tan and mold the dead animals and stitch their pelts. Whenever someone brings in a fresh body, instead of disposing of the bones, she'll keep them and clean them for her Scrimshaw art. "All of this is self-taught," Christensen says. "That is kind of the reason that I do it, too. I like to learn skills. I'm pretty artistic, and I learn effects here and there. But this was something that I could do without relying on anyone else. I kind of just figured it out."  Andrea Christensen |
| Orangeburg man accused of exposing himself | Crime and Courts - The Times and Democrat Posted: 26 Jul 2019 04:30 PM PDT Orangeburg Department of Public SafetyAn Orangeburg man is facing four misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure. On Tuesday evening, officers met with one of the three juvenile teenage females who said they were victims, according to a police incident report.  She told officers that she and two friends went to the Walmart on North Road around 8:46 p.m. and returned to their vehicle at 9:10 p.m.  When they walked out of Walmart, they noticed an occupied blue Dodge Dakota extended cab pickup truck parked in close proximity to their vehicle. She said the truck was parked in such a way that one of her friends had to squeeze past to get to the front passenger seat. Eventually, they made it out of the parking space and left the parking lot. As they did that, they saw the truck was following them. They arrived at a traffic light at Broughton Street and Chestnut Street. The female said she didn't look over at the truck, which had pulled up beside them. However, one of her friends looked over and screamed because the male was allegedly showing off his private part. The female said the man then placed his truck in reverse so that he could show the female's rear seat passenger his anatomy. As a result of Tuesday's alleged incident, the man is facing three of his four charges of indecent exposure. In the meantime, officers had an arrest warrant for the man from a Feb. 18, 2019 incident that occurred in the parking lot of Planet Fitness on Chestnut Street.

When the pickup truck "cut her off," she noticed that the man was touching himself inappropriately, a police incident report said. She also stated that the man attempted to lure her closer to his vehicle by stating that he had a photo of his lost dog. She went inside of the business immediately. Officers reviewed the surveillance video. The man is facing a single count of indecent exposure in the February incident. If convicted, the man faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison for each charge. Orangeburg County Sheriff's OfficeA 21-year-old Eutawville man is undergoing treatment for a gunshot wound to his hand after his friend allegedly shot him on Wednesday afternoon. The man arrived at the Regional Medical Center's urgent care clinic in Santee at 11:35 a.m. on Thursday, several hours after he received the gunshot wound, according to a sheriff's office incident report. He told deputies that he was inside of his car with a friend around 1 p.m. Wednesday. They got into an argument about a female.

He told deputies he didn't want to press charges. In an unrelated incident, a Cordova man called deputies to his Nadine Lane home on Thursday morning to report the following items stolen: a 2005 black Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck, a .38-caliber special revolver, a .40-caliber Glock 2, gold jewelry, cash and a jar of coins.

| How to be eco-friendly when you're dead | News, Sports, Jobs - The Adirondack Daily Enterprise Posted: 25 Jul 2019 09:10 PM PDT  Forget black at a funeral. Think green. Many cities are running out of burial space and conventional casket-in-ground burials change our environment, not only by introducing a lot of different materials to the soil, but also destabilizing it and preventing development. While it's nice to honor our fallen loved ones with their own space, it may not be sustainable to continue allowing everyone to have their own plot of land. Each year, 4 million acres of trees are chopped down specifically to construct coffins, according to Care2. Additionally, 10 acres of a typical cemetery contain nearly 1,000 tons of casket steel, 20,000 tons of concrete in burial vaults and enough wood used in coffins to build 40 homes. Embalming is a nice way to preserve a body for viewing during a funeral, but what happens when it's put into the ground? About 800,000 gallons of formaldehyde-based embalming fluid are buried in U.S. cemeteries every year. It is highly toxic, and those toxins can leach into the soil and air. Even in small quantities it can irritate the throat and eyes, and in large quantities it can be deadly. Formaldehyde, a key ingredient in embalming fluid, has been labeled a carcinogen, potentially posing a risk to those who work in burial services. Our burial rituals have changed quite a bit in the last few hundred years. For the early white settlers of North America, family plots were the most economical way to remember your loved ones. There was no embalming, and if there was a casket, it was simply made of wood. Ceremonies were common but weren't as elaborate as they are today. Cemetery upkeep has been a longstanding and costly issue in modern times as well. And keeping the grass green uses a lot of water, especially in places drier than upstate New York. With the environment and costly process of burials, now might be a good time to consider other options. – Burial alternatives: ¯ Cremation is considered one of the most popular alternatives to being buried. The primary reason being they are usually half the costs of a traditional burial. With cremation services, you allow your family and loved ones to keep your ashes in an urn or scatter them in your favorite spot. Keep in mind though that cremation also has an impact on the environment. Standard cremations in most crematorium retorts require the burning of natural gas, and therefore the release of greenhouse gases. However, over the years, newer, more fuel-efficient crematorium retorts have significantly lowered the amount of carbon dioxide released in this process. ¯ Natural burial — This type of burial eliminates the need for a casket, which tends to be one of largest costs of a traditional burial. The body is wrapped in a shroud or biodegradable casket, allowing the body to decompose naturally. ¯ Bio urns — This is a neat way to allow you or your loved one to become a tree after death. The relatively newer concept allows the ashes of the deceased to be stored in a Bio Urn. The seed of the tree is germinated in the first part of the urn where the ashes are not. Once the decomposition process has begun, the tree roots are strong enough to make contact with the ashes where they then grow through the urn, allowing your loved one to be part of the tree. ¯ Eternal reefs — Using a steel sphere, a person's cremated remains can be sealed inside and ultimately become part of a living reef. The downfall of these types of burial alternatives is they range upward of $4,000. ¯ Donate to science — Your body can be used in medical schools and anatomy labs to help educate students. If you'd like to have your body preserved in a semi-recognizable form, there's a way to donate your body for "plastination," the process of transforming your body into plastic to be showed for display. ¯ Cryonics — The body will be frozen in a cryopreservation tank that is used with hopes that at a later time when technology has improved can be recovered. ¯ Memorial diamonds — These are made by pressurizing the individual's ashes into a diamond. The process allows these gems to be made into jewelry to serve as a keepsake of a loved one ¯ Artful ashes — Using the art of glass blowing, Artful ashes create unique glass memorials for loved ones who have passed away. Using a tablespoon of ashes, glass blowers are able to create a one of a kind orb and keepsake for their loved ones. |
