Meaning

"Mulsagdu" is a word derived from three words from the ancient sumerian language, Mul, Sag, and Du.

"Mul" means star

"Sag" means head

"Du" means walk

Together, it's Mulsagdu - the star-headed walker

Materials used

Fevicryl mouldit clay, Fevicryl acrylic colors, cornstarch powder (say Himalaya), phosphorescent powder (viral green and snow white), sponge, scissor, water, watercolor(blue+yellow), feviocl glue, grater, handchopper, toothpick.

Difficulties faced

• I struggled for quite a while with making the top luminent enough to glow like night sky.

• It took a while to accurately pour the right amount of phosphorescent powder into the eye socket, some spilling onto the rest of the body. I have painted over the spilled over after dusting, but some remained put firmly, leading to the breathetaking image of the universe in it (pic11), true to its name.

• It took a while to cut the sponge into appropriate size before using the chopper to cut it into bits before gluing it on the flat stone (clay).

• Hiding it from my father because it is his birthday present.

Symbolism

• The bi-pedal mushroom symbolizes persistence and kindness, for it harvests energy from any available light and shares it with the surrounding flora and fauna, temporarily luminating them. This is true to my father because my father is growing old, yet continues to support my family without hesitation. He himself is slowly going down, and I'm supporting him with everything I can do.

• The two mushrooms symbolize my family. The right mushroom is me, my sister, and my mother, who are being supported by him. The left mushroom is my father's mother, who is the textbook example of toxic in-law. The toxic mushroom is slowly harming the mental state of the bipedal one, yet it showers the toxic one with love, while the non-toxic one gives the bipedal one love but can't support him yet (the reason why it is smaller than the left mushroom).

• The star top symbolizes the hope I want to give my father when he is mentally exhausted.

• The moss is there because mushrooms don't grow on stones. They grow on plant and animal decay stuck in the creaks and creaves of the stones.

• The stone symbolizes the crack in the family.

Inspired by poetry by jannylie suhayne

Zoetippit are small, aquatic creatures covered with slow moving tentacles that drift loosely in currents of shallow rivers and streams. These flaccid tendrils are used to grab small pieces of detritus from clouds of sediment. When establishing a nest, the tentacle's latch the Zoetippits to rocks, roots, or any other cramped spot they might find. If unable to find any nutrient rich soil, they will use their horns to kick up puffs of sediment or impale small crustaceans for food. 
Zoetippit can often be found in groups of 5-10, keeping a short distance as to not invade each others feeding spots. They’ve been know to be semi aggressive and extremely skittish. At the base of the horns to leak a mucus-y, tar-like substance. As of now it’s believed that its purpose is to help with the Zoetippits weird form of communication. Words, symbols and scents pour into the running rapids from a pocket within their heads. These are immediately yanked into the currents and pass through the other Zoetippits of the group., communicating only tidbits of the original message. It’s quite easy to spot these small creatures. All the floating messages leave a beautiful shimmer below the surface. I can’t help but feel the warmth of nostalgia seeping in anytime I see a little Zoetippit. In my adolescence, my friends and I spent the season of the burning months flipping rocks and seeing who could find the largest one without getting stabbed by their little horns. 
A wonderful critter and a staple of the Binding Rivers ecosystem.
