These cuties were made 2 weekends ago at Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival @kanelandarts . These pulp paintings (made from flax and sisal) are titled “The Honest Truth” and “Little White Lie.” In Cherokee folklore, the chickadee's song was the one to be trusted and the one who delivered an honest message. In contrast, the titmouse was known as "the bird that lies." To tell the difference between the calls of the two birds was to be able to discern truth from lies. #donwidmerpaperarts #handmadepaper #pulppainting #birdart #folklore #cherokeestories https://www.instagram.com/p/CreBs6UJh7V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
