gut

Gut - sausage casing - is a wonderfully versatile material. Used by the Eskimo peoples to make water repellant coats and pants, gut can be used like cordage and like sheets of material.

Most of Judy's gut work is made with pork; a source of beef gut has been recently discovered and is working its way into her art. The work is both 3-D and 2-D. It's all fun!
