My talk at the @johnmooremuseum about how I got into taxidermy, explaining some of the process of taxidermy, legal side of things and what I’ve been working on etc. It went really well, thank you to everyone who could make it, shared my talk and supported my small business, I really appreciate it. It was nice to go back into the museum to take a look at some of the pieces I’ve made for them over the years. My parents came along too along with my husband Brad. It was really nice to have them there. Had a lovely lunch afterwards ��🥰 feeling very thankful 🙏🏻🩵

This little lady will be going to The @johnmooremuseum this Saturday when I do my talk. If you’d like to see her in person, then come to my talk this Saturday on 19th September at The John Moore Museum in Tewkesbury. There’s only a few tickets left.

This stoat was already found dead and died of natural causes. This was donated from a member of the public and they donated some money towards the piece to be preserved which is lovely.

Yesterday I went on @misterfinchtextiles textile mouse course. I’ve been following his work since 2013/2014 when I discovered his work while studying Decorative Arts at Nottingham Trent. I remember Kathy my textile tutor at the time mentioning his work and looking through Pinterest and Google, I was hooked. I was so glad to see one of his courses pop up on my Instagram and was thrilled to be able to book onto the course. I learnt loads and you may know that my first love before taxidermy has always been textiles. 🩵 feeling very inspired

And now the biggest thing I’ve ever mounted. A highland bull. He was a 7 year old male. Quite an undertaking and I’m glad I did it. You may know I did a white park in 2019 and that was quite a learning curve. Now this one was even bigger than the white park, now beats the biggest thing over ever mounted. 🐂
Thought I’d include myself in the last photo to show scale.

This is commission work, not for sale.

Smallest bird in the UK. The goldcrest. This is my third attempt to get a goldcrest looking decent enough for one of my regular customers. They’re very difficult to do and decompose very quickly due to their size. Luckily this one was good enough and can now fly to its new home.

Little blue tit that was a bit ruffled due to the window collision injury. Not perfect but still can be appreciated. This cool dome was provided by the customer and lights up! Very different 😎

Cute blue tit that sadly was a window collision. The little fella was less than perfect but still lovely. Customer provided the dome, which was unusual as it lights up from the base, pretty cool right?

Commissioned work, nfs.

Really interesting commission. A Eurasian otter preserved for educational purposes. It was sadly hit on the side of the road. Now he can be admired for many years to come. I’m showing some aspects of the process here. Hope you enjoy thanks.

This sweet female barn owl was handed over for me to preserve for the customer. Died of natural causes in Ledbury. Now housed in a glass dome and mounted on a piece of wood sourced by the customer.

NFS just an example of my work.

Joblot of glow ups for @joartist 🩵
Cleaned, removed old screws, put new hangers on the back of each shield. Restained a couple of the shields. Restrained some of the antlers. Apoxie sculpt where the holes were originally holding the antlers on the shield. And disguised the apoxie sculpt with paint. Removed old glue. Used peroxide on the skull caps to get them brighter. Now all ready to go. 🦌

Thought I’d show a taxidermy tip I learnt from another taxidermist on how to stain antlers. Using a small amount of potassium permanganate mixed with water. You can stain the antlers to your desired effect. Do not get it ok the skull. And don’t drink or get it in your eyes. If you have any left over, absorb the solution in some blue roll or kitchen roll and through it in general waste. Do not pour down the drain.

Red kite taxidermy

Cause of death: impact with pylons 💔

I wanted to dry something different and sculpt on the skull first before mounting, to see if it would help me with getting the likeness of the bird. I’m showing aspects of the process of taxidermy here. Hope you enjoy this video.

I recently finished this piece for a customer who found this kingfisher who hit a window and sadly died of its injuries. Luckily it was frozen in good time and was able to be forever immortalised as a piece of taxidermy. The customer created this beautiful diorama for the male kingfisher. The case will be finished by the customer and will send me a photo of it all finished hopefully soon.

Cute bunny found by the customer already in this pose. The customer wanted the bunny to be preserved as the same pose. Comes with a base but detachable so the bunny can be picked up separately from the base. Ready to go back to the customer. Base made by @ian_rosie
