The tinkers at Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction want to creep up your Christmas tree and reduce waste at the same time. Artist Beth Beverly is teaching a class on how to make taxidermy ornaments out of old fur coats (which she'll supply). The products of previous workshops have looked like a cross between Tribbles and a lucky rabbit's foot — only more elegant. Using metal chains and other adornments, the furballs take shape like fuzzy droplets when hanging from a tree. And since there's nothing holiday-specific about their design, these Franken-ornaments can easily become a part of any decorative occasion.
