Spa day 🥰✨

(This bird died of natural causes, permission to share by owner)

It was such an honor to work on this beautiful bird. Her owners and I decided to have her sleeping perched atop a petrified wood slab that they provided me. The slab arrived broken but was mended and I was asked to paint the cracks with gold foil, mimicking the Japanese tradition of kintsugi.

In a way I think that’s quite fitting for this mount. Something once broken, made whole again.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately!

I’m trying to switch to only posting finished taxidermy, so there’ll be a bit of a gap while I get stuff finished.

Thanks for the patience <3

Whoops! Forgot to post these guys! 😅

Really weird leggbird 🤨

[hmtaxidermy]

I’m so glad I can finally share this mount with you all!

The tree, barbed wire, and rocks were all sourced on the lease the deer was taken on, making for a one-of-a-kind mount that’s sure to bring back memories.
