OK, kannski ekki. But I did get a little jealous when I came across Þessi grein where I discovered a local San Francisco artist who is charging $60 popp fyrir “flokkar sem dreifa skordýrum”. Ég velti því fyrir mér hversu margir mæta raunverulega á mánaðartímann? Þetta bara inn, Chris Grinter is offering an insect spreading class for merely $49.99! I’d probably make it all sciency though and no one would show…
But while you’re learning the ways of pinning you can pick up your creepy victorian taxidermy character.

Have you been to Paxton Gate? I went about 6 years ago and was amazed by their eclectic collection. It’s worth a visit, if only to run your fingers through bowls of taxidermy glass eyes.
I haven’t been yet, but it looks like they have lots of really weird stuff! (so i’ll have to go now)
