Belly Button Lint
I’ve been collecting David’s belly button lint. In the lip of my crystal ring holder. You know, just to see how much we can actually accumulate over the course of the year.
David’s pretty hairy, so during the course of a regular day, his chest hair and “Happy Trail,” move the lint from inside a garment towards his belly button – kind of like the circling winds of a hurricane, or, or… the Charybdis, except instead of large, sea-faring vessels, his belly button is sucking in lint.
After a few incidences of discovering copious amounts of lint in David’s navel, I got to thinking… If we collected it, would it be enough, say… to felt minature figures of Shetland ponies or woodland foxes? Could I begin a new career as a felting artist? Could I sell Belly Button Lint Minatures on Etsy? So far this is all I have collected… but I’m hopeful.
