So I was walking around the marine department at Bass Pro shops, as you do, and I spotted a tiny, bjd head-sized deer head. It's actually a Hitch Ball Cover, the little plastic or rubber part that people put over the hitch ball on the back of their pickup truck, when it's not in use, so it doesn't get dirty and rusty and make it harder to pop your boat trailer or whatever on there when summer comes around. The hitch cover was all of seven dollars, and made of soft rubbery plastic, just like a mask. It's one of a series, there are Rubbery Bass you can stick on there too. Here is what it looks like underneath: I'm going to stitch it to a collar of a sort of vest so it will stay put on a doll body--the head won't turn, but it will still be mad fun. Look at the nice detail on the head!

..and there were deer in the pocket wilderness by the freeway. They were very cute since they were not in my yard, eating things. There were about 6 of them, and they weren't too worried by us looking at them, either. Dinner at the Cedar Grill was also delicious; it's a little strip mall place and the food is amazing. We also as part of the evening's errands ordered a new fridge from Home Depot,and bought a fridge thermometer and some more mouse traps. Last night at 1:35 a trap that we had lying around set in a drawer for 4 months suddenly snapped shut and caught a mouse, possibly because everything not perishable that we had been stuffing in the old fridge, was now out on the drainboard. I also, among other things (like weeding) did some versions of a digitally painted "techno angel" so I could test out some custom Photoshop brushes: I need to finish up a goddess commission this week too.
