Mors Aeterna Taxidermy

Not quite perfect but an absolutely beautiful specimen for a charaxes bipunctatus nonetheless 🦋

Long time no see! A lot has happened during this year and it seems to have flown by with far too much to do on top of work, and not enough time (or money) to get it done - but I think I speak for most people when I say that.

Anyway, Christmas is coming up, and I thought I'd do something a little different this year. Instead of buying things, I'm making a few instead! This one is (hopefully) going to be quite a big project for me with a lot of learning and improvisation, but I'm hoping it'll come out just how I imagine.

I've also got something else in line, but I can't say too much about that one just yet (it's a big secret!) But I'm hoping I'll be able to show you in December 😉

Please also note that I am taking commissions over this period so if there's anything you'd like to gift your family and friends, drop me a DM and we can try to get something arranged!

Another dome complete! I've had a delias diaphana (that required some fixing) and european june bug sat on my pinning board for months now and couple of spare domes, so I decided to finally do something with it 😅 will be up on etsy later today 🖤
-

Something new! I made a chamois display a few months back, and decided to try make another. This time, its a very beautiful roe deer skull cap and some Amethyst I had left over from my last time at the crystal shop 💜

Now on our etsy shop!
-

Been working on a new dome as a gift! Got hold of a lovely crow skull and decided to use an antler and an Asian swallowtail to make a lovely display 🦋
-

Was getting a little bored of the natural base from my duck dome, so I decided to buy some varnish and spruce it up a little, and had a rejig of the flowers - I'm actually really loving how it turned out 🐥 (NFS)
-

Been working on a new display! Lovely little cotton tail rabbit with some dried flowers, quartz, and pine cones 🐇
-

Managed to grab this absolute beauty of a skull recently. Quite a few teeth missing due to cancerous abscesses when it was alive, but still so gorgeous and very interesting pathology-wise 🐏🖤
-

Finally got round to making a personal dome with my fox skull 🦊 Added a clear quartz cluster I bought on holiday in Cornwall and some flowers Alex had bought me 🖤
-

Finally redone the Chamois display!
-

Tried something a little different! Mounted some crows wings in frames and honestly, I love how they've turned out 🖤
-

The other is now complete! I love how small the antlers are on this one, it's so cute 🥺
-

Back from Cornwall after a lovely week away! Came back to two lovely Roe Deer skulls ready to decoupage and the first one is now finished!!
-

Annoyingly having a few issues with Etsy and Cat skulls, so if there's interest in these two, please drop us a message on here to buy instead!
Mini dome: £60
Bell jar: £70

Redone rabbit foot dome! Added one of my peacock feathers in this time 🦚
-

Here's the fox dome redesigned! Sadly no mushrooms anymore, but the flowers are just as pretty 🖤🦊
-

Long story short, ended up redoing a few domes after I had an issue with them, and made a new one with my rabbit ears I have left 🖤 Fox ear dome is drying and I'll be posting the new design later!
-

More mandible wall hangings! Sheep jaws this time 🖤🐏
-

Just added to the shop!!

Another new piece! Where I work, they started stocking these domes, and they've been absolutely perfect for displays! This one features a cat skull and a comma butterfly 🖤
-

Two new frames being added to the shop! I realised how much I actually love the look of these, so I decided to make a couple more 🖤
-

Been a while since I did some framed butterflies. Here's a sweet little Small Tortoiseshell ready for a new home! 🦋
-

Happy Easter! 🐣 Two mini frames made just in time and up for sale today!
-

What a week it's been! I'm back at work now getting ready to reopen, so I havent had as much time in the day to be making things, and everything I seem to be making is going wrong somewhere along the line! 😩 I've had a greasy pheasant shoulder patch damage one of my frames I put together (now taken apart to be dried so it won't happen again) AND my chamois display is currently dismantled because the wood slice split out of nowhere and is now being replaced with a (hopefully 🤞🏻) better base and will be up on the shop again soon. At least this ram is finally done and looking good, just in time for Easter too! Going up on Etsy! 🐏
-

New frame finished! Muntjac deer ears are so cute 🖤
Going on to Etsy soon!
-

New display finally finished! Managed to find an Chamois skull to reuse, and while the first idea to put it in a dome didnt work, it looks just as beautiful on a wood slice!
