DOMES and things under DOMES

cephalopodSure am feeling a feeling about actually posting about the stuff I'm making and doing these days. You know what I want you to see? I want you to see my thoughts on DOMES and the potential of DOMES to show off some shit.
I went out to get something at the fabric store today and lo, on hyper ultra-sale presumably as something of a leftover from Christmas whatnot, there were DOMES. Thin glass domes set over wood bases, classic as hell. Like displaying-a-taxidermied-ptarmigan-in-a-country-estate-library classic. I got three. Two little ones (you could stick a pineapple in them) and the last big one, just a little smaller than my chest in height and volume. It is truly serious.
The cashier asked what I was going to do with them. I told her I had a weird taxidermy habit. Which I sort of do, but mostly don't, because I don't actually have any weird taxidermy.
YET.
I do, however, have any amount of wire, fabric, beads, glue, paper, wood, and shit-weird industrial metal. The question is: which species do I bastardize for display? I'm leaning toward something with fur, since I own an old brown fur coat that badly needs to turn into something cool, but can you imagine bugs or reptiles made with this?
I throw away a few pounds of that metal housing daily. POTENTIAL. It's hard to decide.
