I Tried this Surprising Ancient Art Method

giving a new meaning to the term 'artsy-fartsy'
This was such a fun process learning about and trying the traditional Rwandan art form of Imigongo. It's pretty amazing how beautiful abstract wall art can be made from an unusual material like cow dung!
What do you think of the finished DIY artwork? would you display it on your wall?
If you're still reading this, then an extra special thank you!! I so appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos, and I'm grateful to be sharing my creativity with you :) Have a great day and God bless!

So the reason manure is used so commonly in traditional stuff like this is, aside from it being common, it contains natural fibers of various sizes, that helps give it structure and reinforces it. It's a natural composite material.

Actually, cow poo is a great building tool because it contains bits of hay and alfalfa and other stringy bits that are also used to strengthen clay blocks for building. It's been used for millenia for building, burning to make a cooking fire, in ancient beauty products, as well as used in some parts of the world to secure dreadlocks. Making art with it doesn't seem unreasonable. There's even a Dirty Jobs episode were they visit a guy who learned how to make dung pots for planting that are completely compostable, and no, they didn't smell.
