HAPPY “NATIONAL DRINK BEER DAY”! Observed every September 28th ….and let’s face it, every other day of the year. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the birthday of Arthur Guinness, founder of Guinness beer, is also celebrated today. While Arthur’s exact date of birth is disputed by historians, the Guinness Beer Company formally celebrates their founder's birthday on September 28th, so I’m in their camp. So for #ThrowbackThursday, I give you this piece from 17 years ago – the original punk rock squirrel, a founder in his own right and a beer aficionado with a fan club of a different kind. Enjoy! #BottomsUp The official title of this taxidermy sculpture is “Never Mind the Bollocks”. Like a lot of my art, it began as roadkill and includes other recycled components. I made the mohawk with hair trimmed from a horse’s mane and made the beer bottle out of miniature tabasco sauce bottle. I created this per request in 2007. Not my normal style or theme, then or now, but I can’t deny I had fun making it.

La Poule Noire. Can something like this be properly introduced? We don’t think so. #borealisironworks #lepoulenoire #blackpullet #thehenthatlaysgoldeneggs #tubalcain #blackhen #occult #weirdtaxidermy #witchythings #oddities #ceremonialknife #witchesofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-RPEeHZ32/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t1mtf3y8vbqb

Happy “Uncommon Musical Instrument Awareness Day”

Celebrated every July 31st. Who knew, right? Well, it’s a thing. And as such, it deserves to be recognized. So in honor of this day may I present the gaida (Also known as a gajda, among other names, depending on the region and its specific configuration) It’s part of the bagpipe family and although bagpipes are synonymous with Scotland many scholars believe they were invented in the Middle East, then introduced into Europe via the Roman Empire. In addition to the U.K., they continue to play a role in Middle Eastern, Central European, and Eastern European culture to this day. Each region has tweaked the design to make it their own, but one of the things that distinguishes instruments in this family from one another is how many pipes they have. Gaida are made from the tanned torso of a sheep or goat and often still have fur on the outside. Fancy versions have a carved faux head of wood while other upscale models utilize the animal’s real head. Using an animal’s body as a balloon of sorts may seem odd but makes sense when you think about how tanned animal skins were used in a very similar manner by ancient peoples to transport liquids – Fewer seams equaled fewer opportunities for liquid to escape, or air to escape in the case of these instruments. .

Real 2-headed calf skin for sale I don’t make a habit of selling things on here, but I'm parting with this two-headed calf hide because I never got around to mounting it. I've lost interest in creating freak taxidermy and moved on to other things so I know I will never regain motivation to add this project to my workload. Available for $475 shipped. My phone is older so my version of Instagram can't receive or send direct messages, if interested please email me instead <info(at)Sarina-Brewer.com> It's the real McCoy; A newborn calf with two muzzles, four eyes, and three ears. I bought it on ebay about ten years ago and don't know if it can still be mounted due to age, but not saying that beyond the realm of possibility. It's ventral skinned and soft tanned. The hide is still soft and flexible, but has micro-cracks on the fur side. They are on the very surface, are hairline thin, and do not permeate down into the leather. The skin on their muzzles is dried out and the snouts have some visible cracks in them. Hair is tight, no shedding. The ears are turned (for laypersons: this means the ears are flipped inside-out. This was done in order to remove the cartilage – standard procedure for a properly skinned animal intended for mounting) If you do decide to mount it the nostrils and lips will need some minor rebuilding. In any event, it's an unusual piece that can be displayed without mounting, so I priced it as a wall hanging versus pricing it as a mountable skin. I have an album of additional images of it on Photobucket. http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/Sarina-Brewer/library/2-headed%20calf. Being sold as-is. I'm happy to answer any questions about it via email.
