This is the end of the February envelopes. Tomorrow we will start on the envelopes that arrived at my house in February. It's always a good month. I probably won't group any of them. We just saw all 20 of my out-going Feb envelopes in 9 days. Additional apologies for those weird green ones.

Once I discovered and decided to share what's new in the world of taxidermy, I had to figure out how much time I was going to spend deciding which image to post. All I did was do a Google search to find out if something like Joan Jonas' taxidermy wolf was available online. If you want to go down the rabbit hole - just Google *taxidermy animals* and then click on the [Shopping] tab.
Here's the wolf. If you live in a loft, I can see how you need things like this to put on the upper shelves.
Once I clicked on [Shopping] - I saw normal stuff - but then I saw 2 baby chicks with antlers - in a battling pose. OK. That's weird. However - it was not all that weird considering I have been seeing Jack-a-lopes since I was a kid. You see a lot of them if you hang out in Montana or the Dakotas - probably Wyoming and Idaho? It's a popular pastime to build giant rabbits out of cows and add deer antlers. Anyhow, to me, the chicks didn't seem all that weird and they were available through Etsy - so how much weirder could it get?
So I clicked on them - and Oh.My.Gosh - there's a guy in the Netherlands who has access to baby chicks and his range of ideas is *out there.*
I'm still debating if I even want to show any of them. I think. I'll just put the link in and a WARNING in all caps that this is weird.
If you have time to kill - click on the battling chicks with horns and read what Casper has to say as well as the comments that customers leave about how pleased they are. Maybe I'm the weird one --- he does have a 5 star rating - and 553 sales.
Actually the clue is in the name; the jackalope taxidermy projects use antelope horns.
