foreign objects

these are some beautiful foreign objects.

a map of paris, buffalo horns, stamps and the spines of a sea urchin. now, i know that seems like a lot of animal products for a vegetarian to dream of, but i like to think the sea urchins and buffalo died of natural causes after long fulfilling lives filled with, respectively, lots of sea urchin and buffalo love. they all have lived their own, lovely little lives, each in their own little corners of the world.
