What did I do today?

I know you're dying to know.

I took pictures of my Oaxacan carving collection and my anteater collection with my shiny new camera, edited them (although I didn't have to do much to them, because the camera is teh awesome), uploaded them to Photobucket, and then stuck a note on them there saying what they were, and, in the case of the carvings, who the artist is. Several hours and 102 pix later, I'm done.

Whew.

And since I also know you're dying to know what an anteater collection looks like (yes, I'm looking at you, [livejournal.com profile] kantayra), I'm posting some teasers here and a link to the rest of them, which you can view in this album.

I don't think I had ever seen an anteater sculpture in my life, and now, I've seen quite a few!
How do you display them?

I've got the Oaxacan carvings on shelves scattered around the walls, and the anteaters are in a bookcase. It all started with a resin pangolin, then I decided he needed a friend and got the Beanie, then I found the little Beanie at a swap meet...and then I started looking on eBay. The Oaxacan carvings were an outgrowth of the anteater collection; I bought the pangolin (it always starts with pangolins!) and then fell in love with the art form.

I can't collect normal things like cows or chickens. Not me. *is weird*
