Or my very confused creation. I am still not sure what this critter wants to be. I started working on the frame with the intent of it being a leopard but clearly that wasn't what it turned out to be. I did the bulk of the work on this piece while Asurea and I were driving back from St. Louis...about the time we hit Texas, hence the title. It was originally only going to be wearing a collar but somehow it morphed into a rather colorful chariot harness. And the match box is for scale.

The figure is wire core with fabric skin. The harness and eyes are beads
