as promised: my second file folder in the moon-months´ names series… december full moon is called “cold moon” – “the cold of winter sets in”
according to the new theme of the 3 muses i made this one with postage stamps (created with pictures of edward s. curtis again). all mailart related stamps are from ma vinci.
Category Archives: moon-series
take a word: moon
anything related with the moon is asked for at the new challenge at take a word.
i found this site which told me that there are special names for the full moon during each month of the year:
“The names for the Full Moon were made up by the Algonquian tribes of Native Americans. Most of the Algonquian people hunted and fished to get food, but some also grew crops. The names they had for the Moon are related to nature & the seasons, hunting & fishing, and farming. The Algonquian people lived all over the northern and eastern parts of North America. When settlers from Europe met up with them, some of the settlers started using most of the same names for the Full Moon.”
“Time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to make sure of a supply of warm winter furs”
spraypainted background, digital work for preparing some photos (merged the moon with a beaver, edited the native american girl from edward s. curtis, typed the tapes from jessica sprague...) – printed and glued… tree stamp from flamingo artstamps germany
my plan is to make a file-folder page for every full moon name… stay tuned…
