Day 1 - January 24th In the evening, I gazed at the sky, searching for the moon that will be full tomorrow. Dark clouds concealed it. Occasionally, a faint light twinkled. I made a charcoal rubbing on printed newspaper paper placed on crumpled wrapping paper, which serves as the base material for the process.
Day 2 - January 25th, 2024 Yesterday evening, the full moon appeared hazy due to thick clouds. The first full moon of 2024 is known as the "Wolf Moon." During January, the wolf pack's breeding season, they become particularly vocal. This is likely the reason people associated January with howling wolves, aiming their calls at the moon to make them carry farther. I cut out an illustration of wolves from the "Jungle Book," creating several strips each 1 cm wide, arranging them on the recycled packaging paper. Size: Width: 21.5 cm Length: 13.5 cm
Day 3 26.1.24 The moon appeared hazy in shades of gray, reminiscent of the Moonstone, a stone that sometimes exhibits gray tones, bluish-gray, and orange hues.
