and her father operated a traveling museum;
consequently she brings us weird things
to look at and to photograph.
Most recently, among this bevy was a gorilla skull
and a collection of vintage glass eyes.
Currently we're in possession of a taxidermy fox, artfully stuffed by her grandfather, and an elephant tooth from her father's traveling museum show...
it's one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
{ thank you, Mr. Fox, for donating your body to art. }

{ This tooth is very old, and it's been repaired once or twice; the hole you see on the left was drilled and extracted in order to make buttons. }
{That's right: it's not a sea urchin or some artifact from outerspace-
it's an elephant tooth, and it weighs 19lbs! Fascinating composition. }
