ritual smoking de-Vice pt. 1 & 2

when I smoke, it's a 'spiritual' thing and not so much about escape as it is about opening the mind or to keep my perspective when being barraged with societal bullshit.

the video and photos below show the first water pipes I've made.
all are for ritual use and not meant for illegal purposes.

want me to make you one?
I take trades and green backs... let's make a deal!

be strong with your limp gun - be chicken and know when to run - be quick in the feet and mind rabbit.... please don't die my brother derek.

made this in a sorta ritualistic way. thinking the entire time about my brother, who was gonna go back to the "sand box' for a third time... this time it was to be afghanistan... and the entire time I played with the clay I thought "please don't go".

funny thing, the day I called it quits on this was the same day derek got the news -he was rejected because of high cholesterol.

the power of 'art'!

be strong with your limp gun - be chicken and know when to run - be quick in the feet and mind rabbit.... please don't die my brother derek. is made outta brass, clay, a 'war on terrorism expeditionary medal', sea shells, amy's c.o.c ring, broken figurines, and a coyote penis bone.
