The nutcrackers are coming!
Nutcrackers
Mouse Heads Monday
I'm making headmounts this week.
Mmmh... It would make an interesting pajama pattern, innit?
Gnomes and Snails
Ok, forget the fishing reel, here's the ultimate gnome accessory: a pet snail!
Growing up, my sister Ina and I would each pick a snail in the garden and keep it for a couple of weeks in a terrarium, which could be re-purposed as an aquarium or a vivarium, depending on which poor animal we'd choose to terrorize.
We'd name our snail, feed it, take them for a crawl, make them race, and then release shim (they're hermaphrodite). A month later, we'd pick another one.
But not the same ones from before! We could tell them apart by their shell.
We stopped doing that when we left the house for college.

New Series Pictures: Blackthorn Witches and Winterbourne Safari Hunters
I finally mounted and photographed the new mice. You can see them all in the Le Mouse Taxidermy Collection, added to the bottom of the page.
On Monday I'll start on a new batch of Head Mounts!
