I was sitting on my couch staring at a large stuffed donkey statue (can statues be plush?) that I bought at an antique store half a block from my house.. At least, the owner told me it was a donkey, or in his words &#8216;a burro, an old one, handmade in a small village in Mexico&#8217; &#8212; he said he had picked it up at a museum that was selling it&#8217;s inventory and gave it to me for $20 (after I didn&#8217;t want to buy it for $30).. Turns out it&#8217;s not a donkey at all. It&#8217;s some sort of oxen likely made in India (that guy had a story about every object in there. Entertaining at least!). The more I look at it, it probably came from World Market and got dirty and worn in somebody&#8217;s storage. But I still like it, and I still like to think of it as a donkey, and while I was looking at it, I thought I should make a paper cutting of a donkey.. and then I realized it would only be complete with birds in 10 gallon hats riding on its back. Finished paper cutting to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got lots of strange little trinkets and such that I&#8217;ve found here and there, and some of them make their way into my paper cuttings..
