Awesome! I'll post some of them in the future then! I guess I can always put a filter/warning on them for people who don't want to see

And YEAH taxidermy has been the main reason I haven't got much other art done, it's extremely time consuming! I'm not sure if I should make a separate account for it, or post finished mounts here!

So uh... I did quite well in the amateur division at the UK Guild of Taxidermists conference this year... First competition ever, first time entering anything... I'm still in shock. Thanks, little ratty!!

I have been given this poor decrepid Victorian squirrel to attempt to restore it..... Might need a miracle for this guy.

Name suggestions please
I'm thinking "crusty"

Some more photos from the Guild of Taxidermists conference.

And probably much more to come! I know this isn't a taxidermy account, but this is a form of wildlife art and I am a taxidermist soooo
