Me mounting my first spider. Found it while camping in Colorado at the Medieval fair. Serena and I were scared. 

I do a lot of taxidermy. But this is my first specimen with an exoskeleton. 

The spider was alive when we found it on our rug, it had a giant egg sac. It died in a jam jar in the trunk. the sac was squished by David.

I have never done anything this creepy, and I do some creepy stuff. I taxidermy birds and make top hats for them. But this was just…spidery. I stuffed the abdomen and soaked her in alcohol and formalin. I….I….

I need to take a moment.

More dolls.

Broken doll

I know I have done many shoots with fake blood to make fake nosebleeds. But this is not fake. I was wearing a pretty dress and black lips today, so when I saw blood gushing from my nostril, I ran and grabbed my camera, it was just too perfect to miss.

These are my friends.

stitches and scars

I recently had surgery for a mole that looked very cancerous and was growing very fast. Turns out it was spindle cell. But I got a lot of stitches and panic for it. This is the incision after they took the stitches out. (blue stitches! hee!)
