So I think I can post this field of dead sheep now that they look kinda like piles of wool. I counted 51 in a baseball-field-sized field the first time I saw them. Video here. I also found a dog and if you gave me a few hours I'd probably be able to count 50 more in nearby fields. Maybe more.

If you're wondering what killed them, my three guesses are:

Harsh winter (I first saw them less deflated in April, when the snow finally thawed revealing a whole winter of death)

Pneumonia (I heard that some sheep around here were dying of that, but I don't know)

Maybe this is a normal death rate considering there are a ton of live sheep around, and this is just where the farmer(s) piled up their deads all winter. This 2018 document said there were 345,000 sheep in WY that year. I'm sure I've seen thousands within a few hours of driving around this place.

The beading process.... is done! Peep that cool ass healed wound. Poor thing lived with it long enough that it healed over, which is wild because it broke its spine (I'll take some pictures of the inside once I remove the glue from the plastron).

And thank fuck this part is over because wow does that not feel great on me hands. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a bitch.

I'm going to turn it into a box. Eventually. I just have to 1) gather the motivation to do so and 2) have, like, time for that. I'm managing a food truck now and it's like all the hours.

My favorite etches I made a few years ago, regarding decay and impermanence. I really enjoyed this technique too.

some pics of an old skull I found years ago; I think it might be from a sk.unk. it's so fragile I normally don't take it out of its jar.

AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ~ 

If you have been contemplating acquiring one of my taxidermy sculptures this might be your last chance; I have retired two strains of my work. The piece pictured here, titled Chernobyl Chicken, has been in my personal collection since its creation 15 years ago, but I’ve decided to sell it in order to free up some space. (Visit WWW.SARINA-BREWER.COM for availability and pricing). I’ve been moving away from my hybrid/composite taxidermy animals in order to concentrate on other areas of my work. I stopped creating sideshow-themed freak animals many years ago. Most recently, in 2018, I also stopped taking commissions for mythological and cryptozoological beasts. So, if you enjoy either of the aforementioned strains of my work, now is the time to purchase a piece because the window is rapidly closing as I sell off what remains. Once they are gone, that’s the end of them. There won’t be others like them in the future. The future holds some equally compelling, but very different, types of animal resurrections. I encourage you to browse my recently revamped website and explore my current endeavors ~

I have come to the conclusion that I am not a female. I am a male in a female body. How did you start your transition? Had you already come out to people when you started?

hey! i was mostly out of the closet when i started medically transitioning. i personally waited to come out until i was sure i wanted to transition and was ready to start medically transitioning, so from an outsiders view my transition was a bit rushed. when i came out i already knew the clinic i wanted to go to for testosterone and the top surgeon i wanted to go to. i took the informed consent route which doesn’t require any therapy prior to treatment, which can be faster but also harder to get covered by insurance. i started my transition by researching places near me that provided the services i wanted, and after coming out i scheduled appointments with the appropriate doctors.
