An old classic for #WerewolfWednesday

Since I've gotten a lot of messages lately: Yes! Tapestries of this design will return later this year!

Also I realised that have a small stack of "misprints" laying around still, since the first time I ordered I planned the print margins a little tight, so on some parts of the outer frame got cut off a little. I sorted them out back then but it's sad just having them lying around. So if anyone wants one now and doesn't mind it having some tiny flaws (most only have some cut off on the patterned frame, the actual image is always intact) feel free to contact me! It would be nice to find them a nice home, the price will discounted of course!

I got a whole lotta projects lined up. I just need the time and money to actually do them.

Anyway, here’s a partial deer pelt I collected from a roadkill doe. Tanned and stretched out on a thrifted wardrobe mirror frame. I really like how it turned out, now if only I had the wall space to actually display it…

Because polls get the most engagement I’m making a poll lol

(For the sake of this poll: a collector is anyone who *currently has* a collection of things either physically or digitally that they intentionally acquired which can be grouped together)

Please please please please pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me what you collect and optionally why!!!! (This is doubly true if your collection is related to a regulatory/“special” interest!!!!!!! That’s honestly the only reason I’m making this poll, I am begging youuuuuuuuuuu

Neurodivergent related tags are for reach as I know a lot of neurodiverse people are collectors. I do try my best not to clutter those tags, if anyone has an issue with it please tell me and I’ll remove them

They had a fun corner in the natural history museum in Bern about the taxidermy process, and they showed the effect the eyes have on how realistic or uh. disturbing. a mount is

The first fox had all black eyes. Not super realistic for those who know red foxes usually have orange or greenish eyes, but still pretty cute

The second one had normal fox eyes. I think they could've gone with a size or two smaller, but still. Regular orange eyes with a vertical pupil as it should be. But then. Oh. Oh no.

Human eyes 👁👁

Wyoming ghost town. Look at that selection of media on the first slide. I didn't set it up like that but someone else might have. It seems...too poetic

and when i say "specimens" i don't mean taxidermied mounts made to look lifelike for exhibit, i'm talking about the thousands to millions of specimens lying in drawers and shelves like this:

asking because i didn't know this until i was in high school. reblogs greatly appreciated, i want to reach as far out of science nerd tumblr as possible!
