Day 2 is as good as Day 1 when you get a box full of fur scraps in the mail. It's true a lovely box full of various trimmings, strips, and pieced together little bits of gorgeous animal fur arrived at my house on Valentine's day. Ecstasy for someone who has been trying in vain to find real animal fur suitable for use in paintings. Suitable means that it isn't skinned and tanned just for me and preferably it served some other, previous purpose or was otherwise salvaged. At a time when fur is actually stylish this has not been so easy to do. In this case these are sewing scraps from a nearby furrier which were too small for much of anything in the way of fashion items and he was kind of enough to pass them along for other uses. I couldn't be happier.
