Natural Curiosities
I have a fairly large collection of natural curiosities and decided to share some on JungleDragon. My collection, as you'll see, contains many things and details from nature that wouldn't normally get noticed or examined.
I have been collecting bits of nature for many years and also have friends who have shared things with me. Everything in my collection was ethically collected/harvested/sourced and is cruelty-free.
