Rating: Gen

Fandom: Supernatural

Summary: Created for the Supernatural Crack in the Chassis event. A fiber art soft book zine that may be thought of as a comic book, portraying the life of Castiel, the Angel of the Lord with too much heart. Really it's hard to explain. Yes. It's crack on steroids. You'll just have to click and see.

Many many thanks for my partner in cracky crime Zephyr Don't forget to visit Tumblr to see Zephyr's amazing Cake Art!

Alt text and my artists' statement at the end will help you interpret this work. Softbook rolled into a scroll

panel 1 applique angel silver-blue fabric and black wings, on lace seafoam with applique fish and scroll with words Don't step on that fish Castiel. Big plans for that fish.

panel 2 applique angel pieced of all the types of clothing Cas wore on his vessel with featherless wings, a few black feathers raining down, two lines of red flowers resembling blood flow from the angels hands. scroll with words, I didn't deserve to be out. You can't save everyone my friend... though you try.
panel 3 seraph angel with six wings applique angel made of galaxy fabric. scroll with words ...Cas helped.
all three connected panels of zine laid out, total size approx 12x36 inches

Panel 1 shows Cas' early memories of Earth as told in his own words.

Panel 2 is the most complex, showing Castiel's experiences after meeting Dean Winchester. The many costumes he wore on his vessel and his roles are shown as well as his lost year when he followed the path of flowers to understand God's plan which also represents the blood spilt for the Winchesters.

Panel 3 is Castiel in his role as architect of heaven.

Zine is presented in the form of a scroll rather than a traditional book.
