So, six years ago, when I read The Well Trained Mind (when M-girl was two months old or so) one of the ideas that caught my imagination was chicken mummification. How cool?! I thought! And I’ve been waiting, ever so patiently, to do that project ever since.
Today was the day.

| Making the natron: 1 part salt to 2 parts each Baking Soda and Washing Soda |
|
 |
| Measuring. |
 |
| Mixing. |
 |
| Washing thoroughly in hot water. |
 |
| Looking inside and drying well. This is after rinsing in rubbing alcohol. |
 |
| Undignified pose, waiting to be filled with the natron mixture. |
 |
| Filling and surrounding. |
 |
| Needed one and a half recipes to completely cover. |
 |
| Finished and ready for its rest. I did put the container into a 2 gallon ziplock bag. |
|

Wondering how it will look in 6 weeks…:)
