WEIRD pickles ...
WHY ?
Seven YEARS ago today, I PICKLED this little DOLL I had gotten at a THRIFT store ... WHY ? I just placed her in a STERILIZED glass jar filled with BOILED water and SCREWED the lid on ... WHY ? NO alcohol, formol, vinegar OR salt was added to the liquid ...
84 MONTHS later, it is PERFECTLY conserved ... NO mold, discoloration or decomposition ...
Yeah but WHY ?
An old FRIEND of mine visited my STUDIO today and was quite PERPLEXED by this canned SPECIMEN ... She asked me WHY I did it ? And I replied ...
This little doll was DEAD and she would have eventually ROTTED and turned BAD ... SO I decided to PRESERVE her ... And she was just a PERFECT addition to my CABINET of CURIOSITIES ...
