I've got a few dog skulls for sale at the moment, I've just posted them all in my Stories but here's one of them, a Jack Russell 🙂 All the skulls have bad and missing teeth and I personally find them very interesting to look at so I hope others do too. I'll post some of the others I've kept another time as the tooth decay and bone damage on them is crazy! Can be shipped to most countries 🙂 #dogskull #dogskulls #jackrussell #toypoodle #yorkshireterrier #skeleton #skulls #skull #animalskulls #skullsforsale #naturalhistory #osteology #zoology #bonecollecting #skullcollector #skullcollection #skullcollecting #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #weirdthings #beautifuldeath #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #onlineshop #etsyshop #tattooshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3byDAzd

I'm totally aware that a lot of people are worried about their finances at the moment so I'm in no way expecting many sales to be coming my way, but there will always be things waiting on my etsy for when people want to browse or treat themselves 🙂 I will be reducing how often I post out orders to probably once a week, and if I have to stop completely for a while then I will have to do that, but I'll see how things go. I will keep trying to get things made though and can always put things aside for people if I'm not able to send them out right away 🙂 #beetle #beetles #jewelbeetle #jewelbeetles #entomology #insects #bugs #weirdbugs #ilovebugs #insectphotos #taxidermy #insecttaxidermy #framedinsects #insectframes #framedbugs #framedbeetles #oddities #preservedinsects #naturalcolour #beautyinnature #naturalhistory #curiocollection #curiocabinet #wunderkammer #gothicart #althomedecor #weirdthings #weirdwallart #etsyshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/2UlTmHO

I haven't had any stillborn puppy skulls for ages but I've got more available now 🙂 These tiny skulls are so fragile and sweet, they do always make me a bit sad that they didn't get a chance at life but I'm glad to give them some love still ❤ If you might be interested then let me know! I will be using a few for little nature domes as well, when I finally get around to doing them! I'm just sorting out photos of a bunch of old dog skulls as well, most of them have got tooth decay which is quite interesting! #skeleton #skulls #animalskulls #smallskulls #babyskulls #animalbones #stillborn #dogskull #dogskulls #puppyskulls #beetlecleaned #skullsforsale #nature #naturalhistory #osteology #zoology #gothic #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #onlineshop #ossaskulls #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3aj9Ztp

Spider crab shells ❤ They are such odd things to look at and feel, especially the big one! I found the two smaller ones on the local beach and my husband found the big one 🙂 I haven't decided what to do with them yet or if I'm keeping the big one, I will probably be simply framing the smaller one though at least. I've got other crab shells and crab legs I've found too, I'm planning in doing some crab leg vials soon 🐚 #spidercrab #crabshell #ilovenature #beachfinds #sealife #marinelife #naturefinds #shells #naturaldecoration #beautifulnature #skulls #animalskulls #animalbones #naturalhistory #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #curiocollection #curiocabinet #wunderkammer #minimalist #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #onlineshop #etsyshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/2Uh3Rfk

The answer to today's #teethtuesday is a skate! I think if you've seen something similar before you would recognise it straight away but otherwise it's a bit of a odd one to work out hehe #skatefish #skateskull #rayskull #fishskulls #teeth #animalteeth #weirdskull #skeleton #skulls #animalskulls #animalbones #osteology #zoology #naturalhistory #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #mycollection #weirdthings #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #onlineshop #etsyshop #ossaskulls #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3aidIY4

Beautiful close up of one of the batwing cicada wings 🙂 This one and a few other large cicada frames are on my etsy now! #cicada #cicadas #giantcicada #wings #fairywings #entomology #insects #bugs #taxidermy #insecttaxidermy #framedinsects #framedbugs #oddities #curiocabinet #wunderkammer #preservedspecimen #nature #naturalhistory #althomedecor #darkart #wallart #gothicstyle #gothichome #batsignal #batman #etsyshop #onlineshop #smallbusiness #shopsmall #ossaflores https://ift.tt/2JaXSm3

I guess these class as teeth hehe, very strange ones though! I know things are crazy right now but I'll keep doing my #teethtuesday 🙂 What is it?? I'll post the whole skull later 💀 #whatisit #guessinggame #teeth #animalteeth #frontteeth #canineteeth #skeleton #skulls #animalskulls #animalbones #osteology #zoology #naturalhistory #nature #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #weirdthings #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #roadkill #etsyshop #onlineshop #ossaskulls #ossaflores https://ift.tt/33GORL3

I'm going to be putting a few more of these together, I kept this one for myself and it looks great on my skull shelves!

I'm finding beach finds so photogenic! This is just a photo I took when I was drying all these out after cleaning them, but I really like the photo 🙂 I posted another photo a week or two ago of my beach finds for the day and that was a pretty photo as well. Gotta love nature! I'm feeling so worn out today so I'm gonna have to rest, in the last couple of days I have photographed a bunch of bits I'm selling so I'll put them in my Stories in a bit but then I need a nap I think! ilovenature #beachfinds #sealife #marinelife #naturefinds #shells #shellart #folkestonebeach #naturaldecoration #beautifulnature #skeletons #skulls #animalskulls #animalbones #naturalhistory #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #curiocollection #curiocabinet #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #onlineshop #etsyshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/2xehPFT

The teeniest dried fetal piglet I've ever had! Luckily this tiny dome is the perfect size for it 🙂 Anyone want to give it a home? #piglet #fetalpig #mummifiedpiglet #baconseed #skeletons #animalskulls #animalbones #pigskull #osteology #naturalhistory #driedspecimen #framedtaxidermy #thingsinjars #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #gothicart #gothichome #gothstyle #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #weirdstuff #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #onlineshop #tattooshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/2QC8Ll3

I realised I hadn't taken a proper individual photo of this little guy before so I have now, so for #skullsundays say hello to the baby giraffe! I got it ages ago and it sits with my adult female on their own shelf. This baby skull is missing the top of the skull from having a necropsy, I wasn't aware of this when I bought it so was a bit of a shame but its still a nice skull to have 🙂 It's about the size of medium to large deer skull, its nice to compare with my adult giraffe! #giraffeskull #babygiraffeskull #babygiraffe #africanskulls #babyskulls #animalteeth #skeleton #skulls #animalskulls #animalbones #osteology #zoology #naturalhistory #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #mycollection #weirdthings #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #ossaskulls #ossaflores https://ift.tt/2WAJQSA

I really like the unusual stripey pattern on these roe deer antlers, they stand out from all the others I've got at the moment! I think these ones are still available and theres a bunch more to find homes for as well so just let me know if you may be interested 🙂 #antlers #roedeer #roedeerskull #deerskull #vintageskull #skeleton #skulls #skull #animalbones #animalskull #animalskulls #skullsforsale #naturalhistory #osteology #zoology #beautifuldeath #rusticstyle #skullcollector #skullcollection #skullcollecting #weirdthings #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #roadkill #ossaskulls #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3bbl5jS

I thought it might be a good idea to repost my little skull ID guessing game for people stuck at home or if anyone just needs a distraction from all the craziness! These are all sweet skull faces from the front, the sizes aren't to scale at all hehe, but hopefully it's a bit of fun working them out 🙂 You can message me for answers if you want, I won't post the answers for a while to give people time to have a go. I really hope everyone is doing ok and are keeping safe. I know money is a worry for a lot of people at the moment but if you do fancy doing some online shopping then please do consider small businesses, this is my only income and it's the same for many small business owners. I know I'm very lucky I don't have to keep going out to work like a lot of people though, but it is a worrying time for a lot of us! Take care of yourself and others 🖤 #justforfun #whatisit #guessinggame #teeth #animalteeth #frontteeth #skeleton #skulls #animalskulls #animalbones #osteology #zoology #naturalhistory #nature #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #mycollection #weirdthings #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #shopsmall #etsyshop #onlineshop #ossaskulls #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3dgXKzj

I added a few insect frames to my etsy last night, including this beautiful giant grasshopper 🙂 I'm still perfecting my setting technique for these guys but they are so beautiful anyway, it's always amazing uncovering those bright coloured hind wings! #giantgrasshopper #tropidacrisdux #grasshopper #grasshopperwings #wings #entomology #insects #framedinsects #insectframe #beautifulbugs #biginsects #entomologyframe #scarybugs #taxidermy #insecttaxidermy #oddities #curiosities #curiocollection #curios #wunderkammer #naturalcolour #ilovenature #naturalhistory #althomedecor #weirdthings #handmade #onlineshop #etsyshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3db022N

Wolverines are pretty badass. Wolverines are bigger than badgers and have the same locked on mandible as badgers which help with their bite strength , it has a good size crest as well so it would have had some decent muscles attached there to add to their biting power. You wouldn't want to mess with one! #wolverine #wolverineskull #mustelids #mustelidskulls #teeth #animalteeth #weirdskull #skeleton #skulls #animalskulls #animalbones #osteology #zoology #naturalhistory #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #mycollection #alwayslearning #weirdthings #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #etsyshop #onlineshop #ossaskulls #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3aeR2rP

There are a few sweet dried piglet domes on my shop now! There are still some framed ones too 🙂 I've decided to stop doing the #marchmeetthemaker challenge as I'm just struggling enough with my health and everything else and don't want to put further pressure on myself! I hope people learned a few things about me and my work though 🙂 I'm doing to try to keep posting like I normally do, and I hope I will be able to keep sending orders out as well 🤞 Everything has got so crazy lately, I'm lucky I don't usually go out much anyway but it will be tough if me and my husband can no longer post out orders! I'm considered a more vulnerable person so I will be staying in as much as possible now and I hope to get a bunch of new stock made whenever I feel well enough! I hope all you guys round the world are doing ok at the moment 🖤 #piglet #fetalpig #mummifiedpiglet #baconseed #skeletons #animalskulls #animalbones #pigskull #osteology #naturalhistory #driedspecimen #framedtaxidermy #thingsinjars #skullcollection #skullcollecting #skullcollector #gothicart #gothichome #gothstyle #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #weirdstuff #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #onlineshop #tattooshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/2WpCLo4

#marchmeetthemaker Day 17: Proud of. I'm not someone who hardly ever feels proud of myself but I do try and recognise my achievements, even if I don't feel particularly impressed by them! But I guess I should be quite proud I even have a shop, dealing with worsening health in the five years since starting it, and being housebound a lot of the time, I've dealt with a lot of challenges and have had quite a few times where I've felt I'd have to give it up but I've avoided that so far 🤞 I'm quite proud I've managed to make a small business out of doing something I love, working with natural items that I love! I'm sometimes proud of taking something dirty and smelly and cleaning it to make something nice! And I'm proud I'm able to make a bit of my own money doing this as it's good for my mental state to not only have my disability benefits (which I'm very grateful to have by the way!) I'm also proud of my skull collection (not gonna lie!) These muntjac skulls recently came out of cleaning so I will now need to work out how to use them in my work 🙂 I'm sorry I didn't do teeth tuesday today, I've been in hospital today for a procedure and slept for a while when I got home, it was a bit late to do it now! #marchmeetthemaker2020 #meetthemaker #muntjacskull #muntjac #antlers #skeleton #skulls #skull #animalbones #animalskull #animalskulls #naturalhistory #osteology #zoology #beautifuldeath #bonecollecting #skullcollector #skullcollection #skullcollecting #weirdthings #taxidermy #oddities #curiosities #wunderkammer #itwasdeadwhenwemet #vultureculture #roadkill #etsyshop #ossaflores https://ift.tt/3b2CJq3
