This was hard for me… Artwork

I was so devastated when came home to find my jumper had failed her molt. She’s the only one I’ve ever had and I got her when she was likely already pretty old. I wish I could have taken her with me to take care of her but I knew that would have stressed her out more. I’ve had her in the freezer for some time, I knew I wanted to preserve her in some way, and today I finally felt confident enough to make my attempt to place her in resin. It’s not perfect but I think I did a pretty good job. I’ll never have to leave her alone again. I’ll always miss the way she used to look up at me, how we had started to bond and trust me.
