# 8 Opposing Words (Team Project)





I'll bet you are thinking this is a team project why do I see only one work. Well because life gets in the way and one of us is working, and it's not me, so stop judging.

So how did we come up with this crazy idea?

Well I always have wanted to
make a fantastic beast strictly to mount on my wall. I guess I like the kitsch factor of taxidermy, and the whimsy of making up animals.

My cousin Matt, hunts and has some truly magnificent stags mounted at his house. I imagine he had to kill them because they were nibbling on his tulips or something. Or maybe they had insulted his mother and he was defending her honor. You know how those stag parties get.

But this guy is my vegetarian. He's a mix between a few veggie eating animals, a cow, a gazelle, a hippo, who can say. I'll proabbly wear out his nose kissing him goodnight every night.

Don't worry the carnivore is coming!
















































Here's my carnivore! Finally! Sorry he's not actually on a wall but I'm still waiting for the glue to dry! Oops, guess I should have started this one a little bit earlier. Anyway, he's a flesh eating demon and he's so scary that my husband said I'm not allowed to hang him in our bedroom... that John... who knew he was afraid of the dark. Anyway, he looks a little crazy because he had a severe problem with blood lust and went a hunter fought him to the death... well, let's just say it got a little intense. I still love him though, hope you do too!

  1. Carnivore will arrive no later than Sunday! I promise... but I also had to start a new crappy job AND write a whole chapter for my novel (which I only mostly completed... but good enough).
