Here the tree is, being slowly turned back into an Alien face-hugger.
Neoprene cushion, there is additional neoprene (not shown) skived and attached to the bum area of the cushion as well as the spine.

Today was my birthday. Thank you to all for the well wishes — quite literally (digitally speaking) from around the world. My laptop finally gave the ghost about a week ago (mechanical failure of the hard drive…*sigh*) which is a good part of the reason for me being absent here ’round the interverse. Please don’t [...]

Back from the barn earlier than anticipated. I’m getting spooky efficient with the feedings. Morning feedings with vetting of the sick 2-year-old are down to less than an hour; evening feedings down to about 35 minutes. I’ll have developed the swing of the thing by the time the owner comes back Monday a.m.
We fed a [...]
